Certainly there are many recommendations and best practices that are worth knowing and practicing, if for no other reason that they make you predictable to other riders/drivers and that is usually a factor that reduces the risk of accident, but every time you take one of those and make it an absolute rule, you take the risk of applying it when it is not the best solution and we know how that can end up.
As always, exercise your best judgement in every circumstance. Practice helps greatly with that.
