I think you are missing the point. SOPs are not there to tell you how to conduct every minute aspect of your flight. They are there to provide a framework of normal day to day proceedures so that when you jump onboard, whether its with your best mate or a complete stranger, you've both got some idea about what each of you is doing.
Quite useful for monitoring things like situational awareness, incapacitation, cowboy tendancies...
Happy landings
