That is a good general rule, not only for exposure, but I find it gives

ideally, it's best to expose to the right without clipping any
highlights.

Most good photographers expose for the subject matter. But then we don't
know about you, since we have not knowingly seen anything produced by you.




As with generalities, there are situations where variance is called for.

imagine that.

BTW A few years ago I remember stating that rule, and nospam was giving
all sorts of reasons why it was a stupid thing to do.

you remember incorrectly. or you're outright lying.

Yet more proof of your well known reputation or being confrontational.
