Why
I think it's something along the same vein as an overweight fitness instructor. I think it's an innate requisite that if someone is presenting as a professional, that has instructions for us to follow, that they at least have the appearance of following their own guidelines.
I was simply replying what I thought the OP meant since no one was responding to the "Why?". I do not condone or agree with the original unpopular opinion, but it's nice to see that downvotes continue to be used for agreeing/disagreeing with statements instead of their intended usage.
I didn't downvote you.
