> institutionalized boy scouting, which is a good practice
You brought up the name for it. Okay. Now can we get back to the debate on whether it is a good practice?
These people are debating whether boy-scouting is 100% required every time, or whether there are critical issues that require making it sometimes-optional.

There are obviously issues where it would be better to skip it, but that's the wrong question. The question that needs asked is can the organization identify, adopt, and properly execute a system which identifies those cases reliably enough that the benefit of the true positives is not overridden by the costs of the false positives. And, IME, the places that tend to have inflexible policies like this are also places where the answer to that is "hell, no!". Which is demonstrated dramatically (and expensively) everytime someone with who fails to recognize the organizational capacity constraint gets into the right position of authority and tries to implement that kind of flexibility.
