'Clean Code' is a style, not all practices are best. I feel that a good software team understands each other's styles, therefore making it easier to read others code within the context of a style. However, when people disagree on code style it has a way of creating cliques within teams, so sometimes it's just easier to pick a style that is well documented already and be done with mainly petty disagreements. Clean code fits the definition of well documented and is a lazy way of defining a team wide style.
