To be fair, here is the RFC meaning:
SHOULD This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there
may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a
particular item, but the full implications must be understood and
carefully weighed before choosing a different course.
It means you can’t simply ignore it, and instead have to have compelling reasons to justify any deviation.
