Once again, I seem to have missed a major shift in thinking in the industry.
When did super glue become the de facto standard wood glue for "doing it
right"? What happened to "it may not be the best approach, but it's quick", and
why would you need "quick" here?

Still mired in the hopeless but adhesively secure past with hot hide glue,
Titebond, and PVA (with epoxy and plastic resin as indicated).
