I think there has been a genuine misunderstanding on both sides.  David
Brown read "no one writes to precise guidelines" as "no one writes
precise guidelines".  Bart then misread David's remark as also being
about writing to guidelines rather than writing the guidelines
themselves.

Reading with care on both sides would have helped, but it's easy to miss
a word like "to" both when it's there and when you think it must be
there.
