Method Correlation Total Allowable Error vs Slope and Correlation Coefficient

I was reading James Westgard's book on Basic Method Validation and came across the passage below.

I have been to many institutions and before I came along, they tend to just look at the slope and R value to see if two methods correlate.

I was always use to just using total allowable error as a means to compare acceptability. I think this is actually the correct way to interpret acceptability and I don't know why others *just use slope and R values. 

Can a lab director define acceptability as >.9-1.1 & R>.95?

Can they pick and choose TAE *or slope/R when no TAE is defined for a regulated analyte?
what are other people's practices at their institution?
What is best practice?

Most use Demming regression for Accuracy/Bias comparison not just (r)

TEa targets for Precision are common but not for Accuracy/Bias
