When "Best Practice" Isn't
"That is currently a best practice."
"But does it address the potential problem?"
"No."
"And is it possible that it will make the organization considerably more vulnerable to litigation?"
"Only in a few cases. I'm certain that the procedure would not have best practice status if it made the organization seriously vulnerable. After all, some very bright people crafted it."
"But there is no indication that they considered this potential challenge."
"True."
"So where do you stand now?"
"It's a best practice."
"I think we'd better review that."
