| | Maybe I downplay it a bit, but to me a standard is simply previously somebody else's opinion. At that point in time, it just so happen that many people agreed with that opinion, so it is labeled as a standard. Give it a logo, make it look official, and people will believe it's a standard. But deep down, it's simply an opinion, maybe a really good one, but it's really just an opinion.
I've noticed most corporate people want to find standards to follow. Standard procedures, documentation, etc. Follow the standard. To me, that means follow someone else's opinion. Why do that? Because it's easier. It's easier to follow something than to be original. It's harder to think. Sometimes it looks like people just want to be machines and follow directions. In essence, I agree it is easier. But to me, it's less fulfilling.
Don't follow a standard. Become a standard.
