My biggest issue is #7, "UV filters work just as well as lens caps".

After that, I stopped reading. That 'tip' is horrible.

Some of those made no sense at all.

Agreed

7. Always underexpose by 2/3rds of a stop when shooting in broad daylight.

this ensures that anything in a shadow is totally underexposed and unrecoverable.

IMO that's better than blown out and unrecoverable.

yup - I agree 100%

Kinda confused me... does it mean physical protection or was that a slight at filters?

I didn't think to read it like your second interpretation. If that was what he would have said, I would have thought it was funny. I don't think that is what he meant.

Not sure I missed one that should be on every list. "Try shooting from the darkside"

I haven't attempted shooting in the rain yet, however I would love too. Water and electronics dont mix

There's a very simple and successful trick: handsfree umbrella
