Re: The worst advice EVER

Hi zms5063. I'm not sure what you meant by "cross fingering" or "best practice." The lh and rh pinky fingerings for the notes you mention are in most situations interchangeable and frequently their use is a matter of individual habit or preference.

Referring to standard, not full, Boehm, the main exceptions are where the lh pinky will need to press the C#/G# key or where the rh pinky is going to press the Ab/Eb key, because there are no opposite-pinky keys for those. In those cases, yes, you frequently have to start a sequence of those notes so that alternating pinkies come out right for those singleton keys. If you mean you didn't understand about the opposite pinky fingerings, then I can well imagine such passages becoming unnecessarily harder.
