These wishy-washy platitudes hardly constitute "guidelines" at all. It is such a stark contrast to their medical guidelines. While the recent AAHA endocrine guidelines aren't perfect, they provide a solid review of the literature, provide actual doses and test recommendations, and at numerous places stick their neck out to guide practitioners along the lines of "the approved dose is X, but many internists actually use Y to good effect, try that." Likewise, the ACVIM consensus statements aren't always perfect (there is one that is particularly egregious IMO), but they try their best to be USEFUL and not couch everything in mealy-mouthed CYA
