Why must be evaluated and used first? Will I even have time to evaluate? What am I optimising for?

Rules like "do this, do that", departed from the actual problems and the constraints, are by definition ignoring 100% of the data - that's why I call it dogmatic.

I would appreciate more if it at least supported these claims w/ examples or links to studies, but it doesn't.
