I suspect Rick was just emphasizing the point.

Rick ... there are numerous books on best practices. But the most
important one is to find an indendent expert ... not just a paper
expert but a real one ... to review your documents and comment on them
before putting them into force.

Perhaps you can find someone outside of your organization or with a
college or university program that can perform that service at minimal
charge.
