I can't count the number of times someone violated #8 and I was about to literally yell to shut up... Maybe an additional (sort of summarizing) Do: Do add a question mark to your speech. If there is no question mark, you are likely to be advertising your own instead of discussing the presented work.

And thanks for the link to How To Ask Questions - this is a great resource, even if it does contradict point #1 :-) I think you are right that with some more thought and time, the list could be made more concise (I clearly didn’t listen to my own advice!)

Perhaps some points could be joined in one, making the list itself more concise (numbers 2 and 10, for example, could possibly be together).

Apparently this happens in the scientific world just like anyplace else. And I was hoping the scientists had figured that out. :) But I suppose you can't get a room full of very bright, very driven individuals with high egos states and expect it to be too docile. :) Why is it that whenever a group of people get together for whatever reason they seem to forget basic good manners and common sense?
