Best practice - implies quantitative result in a qualitative direction
Convention - agnostic on both counts and also on any other metric. eg I
do something by convention - so it represents my practice, but possibly
no one else's.

I agree. Perhaps it would be better to use the terms 'COMMON practice'
and 'BEST practice' rather than 'convention' (the association seems
more intuitive as does the distinction) ?

No, not in general. Things that are "usually done" or that are
done by most people are not necessarily the best way to do
things or even good things to do.
