There should be an (n+1)th rule for these lists that's break the rules when you want, just know you're breaking them and do it because you like the result better, not out of sloppiness.
- smilespray 3y agoMy teachers told me this is true for almost all lists of rules. YMMV.
- Nevermark 3y agoRules (which don’t involve courts & prisons) are just shorthand for reasons. The better you understand the reasons behind the rules, the easier it will be to know when to break them. Or, in an artistic sense, how best to dramatically or subtly break them in service to some creative perspective. Any of them! All of them! This is as true in architecture, rocket design, fashion and etiquette, as it is in prose. —- And this is why organizations that impose process without delegating and encouraging an organization-wide agency to make intentional exceptions, smother innovation so effectively. They lose most of their creative and adaptive abilities.
