creating a separate flex box.css might add to duplication of rules and other errors... i might be wrong but would like to know... what is the best practice and why... Thanks and Cheers!

28,148 PointsIt depends on the project, but its common to see separation of concerns with CSS files, meaning that often parts of the application are broken out into multiple files, so it's easier to find something. I personally try to keep CSS files to only a few hundred lines of code, which often means I could have a dozen or more CSS files in any one project.
It's all about what makes sense to you. In this case, I think what they're trying to show is how you can break out rules into parts that make sense to you, on a smaller project.
