If it's good enough for a newspaper editor, it's good enough for me.
I think that case should be appealed to a higher court that can overlook minutiae and see the picture for what it is. IOW, I agree with the last paragraph in Steve's post.

"Bill and Ted's excellent adventure!" No comma before the conjunction if it's not a list of more than three items.
"Me, myself, and Irene." If following the oxford comma rule, then there should be a coma before the conjunction, because it is a list of three (or more) items.
