Of course.  But we don't suggest that race car drivers use conventional
road practices, nor that surgeons just use little band-aids.

But there are some that would want even the expert programmers to follow
the practices that make it possible for so many others to program, and
then uses excuses like "that someone else might have to maintain it".
If someone else has to maintain it, then we are back to depending on the
lower common denominator.
