I don't blame them one bit because keeping up with C++ and learning C++ 
Core Guidelines is a tremendous task:

 
https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md

I keep starting writing replies here about C++ Core Guidelines but I 
delete them after counting to ten. Not this time... :)

I think it's a psychological phenomenon worthy of scientific interest 
how a craft with so many guidelines can still be accepted. I am baffled 
how otherwise wonderful and smart people can direct others to that 
document with a straight face, let alone market it as one of the 
greatest gifts to C++ programmers (cf. CppCon 2015 keynotes by Herb 
Sutter and Bjarne Stroustrup.)
