 Thoughts?

Yeah, it's mostly balderdash, especially the "think positive"
part: rules of dumb I call those, in fact reinventing the wheel
and reinventing it wrong.
But we know better: the one best practice that would be relevant
there is *do not use magic values*.  And of course we could rather
say more about that.  And of course it still wouldn't be just a
rule of dumb, rather learn the art of incremental/evolutionary...
