The trouble is that dithering works by smearing the error over an area of pixels in a way that your brain unsmears into something close to the original image. If you start manipulating some pixels but not nearby areas then you will get very visible artifacts.
Maybe that is OK if you are drawing straight lines and boxes but any kind of detail is going to be destroyed.

The way you see the brush strokes in certain styles of painting, it would add character to see where two dithered areas of the same lightness had a slightly visible discontinuity. I think it could be a very cool artistic effect.
