And neither of you is wrong!
It's a track by track call here, which is why, for vocals, I rarely use a preset unless I know the track was done on the same equipment I used those settings on previously, end even then it's more of a 'Save/Load Group' so I have a set of various plugins all set up, as opposed to a single plugin with a preset settings.

We all do things different, all the matters is the end result.

I may start with sanding a piece of wood first then clean it before staining .. you may use thinner to clean it first, which also fluffs the grain, then lightly sand before staining .. both pieces will turn out different, but neither is wrong, and both could be nice.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
