We have an existing CERT module for CERT-specific checks. When the check is honoring a published coding standard, that's usually sufficient justification -- but I do think the check should implement what the CERT recommendation says. If the CERT recommendation seems deficient in some way, it's reasonable to reach out to the authors (they allow comments on their wiki and are pretty good about responding to those comments) for clarification or to discuss potential improvements to the recommendation that would make the check more palatable.
