line up 10 professionals and see the variety of opinions
Quite so - but the likelhood is that 9/10 of them are various 'right answers'.- which is sort of my point, I'd expect that we agree on the extremes, and are a bit mixed on the corner cases, where you could toss a coin as to the best recommendation, as it is marginal, so whatever you do, either result is a good outcome, with varying degrees of strictness. The one to avoid is being badly wrong of course.
Who decides what then depends a bit on personal background - if you mostly have worked in aerospace or on medical kit you may be likely to be less flexible than if you have worked a lot installing farm equipment, or working on installations in the 3rd world, which are not equivalent, but our varying experiances calibrate the personal sense of 'seriousness' of some departures from the ideal.
One man's untidy but OK, will be be another's inadequate labelling and segragation for safe isolation.
