Agree. Mostly, the “rules” help a beginner to understand the levers they can pull to get the intended effect. Then they can experiment and develop the artistic taste & technical experience so they can choose what to apply.

But they shouldn’t be seen as dogma. (Well, unless you do it on purpose: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogme_95 )
