Things like "SOLID principles" are what I call "Dunning–Kruger Traps". They lure the newbie (or worse, beginner experts) with a "learn me and become an expert" bait. They usually don't stand on a substantial merit. They are hyped up by some famous nerd and it perpetuates because every body hears someone talk about it. I can literally make up other legitimate sounding principles on the spot that mean nothing. If you hype it up enough people will start repeating it. Until the little kid notices that the emperor is walking around all naked.
