selecting stby power to off is neither required nor desired, if it was, boeing would have put it somewhere in the secure checklist. Everytime I do my preflight checks and find something unusual (just like the stby power in off) I check with maintenance before continuing, even with the maintenance logs already checked. Someone might have been doing some work. These kind of non standard actions can lead to mistakes and delays.
