> Your answer is correct, secure and has fewer false positives than mine. But I interpret cargo cult to mean doing something with no unserstanding why it should work (and in the original example, ending up with "it doesn't work"). That's not the case here. To me it also includes: - forbid patterns that are perfectly fine (as in this example), but we nevertheless forbid them for a fear of wrath of a demon, eh, I mean for the fear that it might introduce some bug (without giving a very good reasoning). - using "best practises" (in particular "best security practises") that are either not based on strong evidence, but on some obscure oral tradition/scripture that says this is the way to go.
