An adage I use is you should know all the rules so you know when and which to break.

The problem is that this requires rules to not actually be rules, but strong recommendations. Compilers are good at rules, less so with strong recommendations, which end up in static analysis tooling.
The compiler is fine with using GOTO, it's people that are not.
