"Best practices" is always bullshit, man. It's a marketing term, not an engineering or a science term. Any practice is bad or good based on the context and purpose for which it is applied.
That's the spirit in which I used the term. In plain English: you can correctly apply certain practices that are famously powerful and acceptable, while subtly undermining them in a way people might not notice, or would happily pretend not to notice if the study fits with their political position on the matter.
