Most engineers will agree with "good practices" in theory. But when they get into a practical situation where those practices are inconvenient or inappropriate, they may not always follow them. If you are always asking your question in a classroom environment, where the discussion is theoretical (and nobody wants to publicly admit to not following good practices), it is not surprising that everyone agrees with strictly enforcing them. Brad may be hearing more from engineers working on actual designs. They may be under schedule pressure, and be willing to cut corners. They may have to use outside code that they did not write, and cannot change. They may have run into unusual situations where the "good practices" don't apply, and get in the way. They have reasons not to want those practices too strictly enforced. And whether you agree with them or not, they are the ones paying for the tools.
