That depends on what would be "better" about the proposed "better" guide. If it teaches the same things and is better inthe manner of teaching them, I think we would embrace it. But if the "improvement" consists of recommending things that go against our principles, then yes that guide would go against our principles. I think Eli has a feeling it would be the latter case. But you "restated" his position to leave that possibility out of it. The effect is to criticize something that isn't what he said.
