>Maybe it's a substitute for thinking for themselves? Re-thinking everything for every project is wasteful. Sometimes you already know a way to do a project that works for you. Sometimes that way is mirrored by a lot of other people. Other times you are selecting these things because it's a common thing to talk about and when you're teaching people the project, you can prime their learning by telling them to expect these models and methodologies in this project. The mistake IMO is making the religion industry-wide when really you'll be lucky to implement it consistently just in your company/project.
