do you design column and beam splice to 1/2 or 2/3 of its capacity?

do you design column and beam splice to 1/2 or 2/3 of its capacity?
steel structure book by salmon recommends this.
I saw a columns splice for an NFL stadium (not the stadium itself but the ramp/escalator building) and i am sure it's not designed to at least 50% column capacity.
splice plate only has 6 bolts for the upper W12 column, welded to bottom column.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
