There's a book?? Now you tell me!!

Seriously people, there was no bashing here, certainly nothing to close a thread about. There is generally a right(ish) way to do things, and that was all that was offered. If something different works for someone, well, that's awesome!
But, as Myka says, many people need to follow the "rules" when starting out, so clarifying what those are may help new people that get confused by the more experienced variants of any given method.
