I don't think its about Pentaxians here. You can't go posting wrong advice on a Nikon forum either...

When you're out photographing what you should really care about is aperture. That affects depth of field and bokeh which are primary contributing factors to an image. ISO can only negatively affect noise and dynamic range. In essence you should always strive for the lowest ISO possible in any image no matter what lighting. You don't need a set of guidelines like this because your camera's meter already tells you if you need to up the ISO.

ISO should be the last consideration as there really isn't anything "artistic" about your choice of ISO whereas aperture and shutter speed have a more tangible impact on the image.

Your list isn't as bad as the "rule of thumb" that says your f/# should be equal to the number of people in the shot. THAT is an utterly useless guideline that completely misses the point of depth-of-field.

In the days of film when you had to pick ONE speed for the roll, I guess your list made a little sense.
