So that there are no absolute truths in coding.. is an absolute truth in coding? Please don't pretend to be able to tell me what to pretend, I don't think it's conductive to the discussion. I don't think these are rules of thumb that you should take for granted without criticism, especially when paraphrased from their original (well researched) source. And I especially don't think you should take from them what you like. They are principles you should know because they are known to lead to well designed software, you should leave none of them alone.
