Feb 28, 2012 at 20:37 comment added Konrad Rudolph Good of you to chime in, and I think you make a reasonable argument. That said, I don’t agree with your rationale “they're always developers who want their guidelines to be explicit”: you can’t always cater to idiots, and you shouldn’t try. Making guidelines explicit is good so long as this doesn’t render them incorrect: now it’s no longer a guideline, it’s an arbitrary rule. Introducing arbitrary numbers, as you have witnessed, is a dead certain way to get shot down, and justified.
