As this book explains, that's because there IS no "right" or "wrong" format, just different ways to do it. Every script in this volume shows you something. Gaiman's reads like a personal note to the artist, Wolfman shows how plot-first can work, McDuffie shows you how to work in a recap, Kevin Smith shows a more movie-script style of writing ...
