In the late 1990s, 2 colleagues and I critically appraised a broad set of published guidelines and found that guidelines adhered to less than half of the methodological standards for guideline development.2 We opined that since the guideline industry was in its infancy, over time developers would adhere to recommended standards of guideline development. As demonstrated by Kung et al3 in this issue of the Archives, guidelines are still not following guidelines.
