You're just admitting to having created your own problem, and suffering consequences for it. Nothing in your comment pertains any issue with reading coding guidelines in general or specifically the C++ ones, let alone any comment in particular.

That's your personal assertion, and one that does not sound informed at all.

I keep track of the C++ coding guidelines. In general they are nice rules of thumb. No one wants to build a religion around them.

Cargo cult programming has zero to do with religion or what features ship and do not ship with a standard library. Please read the wiki page you're trying to quote before quoting it.
