Only later did they write this plugin as a tool to test against those practices, so yeah, it's no surprise that they do well in this test. That's not to say that the rules aren't valid, nor are they concrete; certainly there are times when it makes sense to do things other than what they recommend. I'll say this though, their home page sure as hell loads a lot faster than ours (CNET's).
