There’s some terrible advice in there which is merely cargo cult thinking. The whole thing needs garbage collecting.
The final straw was when I saw someone using a wire brush on a Metcal tip after reading one of these mil spec guides.
I was production engineer defence sector for a few years.

We worked in R&D and all (Multibus II) boards were hand-soldered and had to be visually inspected by a supervisor before testing. One chap presented his board for checking and, after a visual and touch inspection, our supervisor said that some of the joints were a bit 'pointy' and would need fixing. So off went the student to the fab area of the workshop, the board was put in a vice and I just stopped him as he approached the bench with a sandpaper-wrapped block of wood.
