I tried this for over two years at a job, which inevitably resulted in "well, John has 25 years of experience, and you have 5".

You might be able to reframe it as a "why" question. Then you're no longer questioning the experience, but the ability to impart that knowledge to others.

When someone quotes something as a "best practice" I usually take it that they aren't actually interested in the "why" and probably have no idea of what the underlying justification is.

What's wrong with quoting best practice and pointing the why in your framework of choice documentation that explains the best practice and the why?
