I've yet to find a panacea. For example, I thought DRY was, but found its not the case (test scenarios). I've yet to find altruisms past "everything in moderation". If you do choose a style and stick to it though at least it's consistent.

What would it have meant for DRY to be a panacea? That doesn't make much sense.
