I would say 1% got discussed and very badly discussed. Regarding rigging I remember once a very senior rigger throwing tons of cr@p in the rig and I had to sit down and re-rig it in front of him and actually _prove_ him you could do the same with just a tenth of the bones and controls.
The same with topology and the paranoia riggers have with loops being in certain way, I ended up putting the same mesh thru the same rig only with different loops to _prove_ him it was actually worst to use regular topology than stress based topology. My issue really is that there are too many people that read posts and training videos like these and believe it hands down without even trying for themselves in a real way.
