I think you're right. This is one of the reasons why the midwit meme is my favorite. It is just so true and so applicable.
I had a great English teacher in high who was a stickler for the rules of grammar when we were writing essays. He whipped us into shape. And then, he had us read Faulkner. James Joyce (not a fan). Cold Mountain. All these authors and books that are very important to the modern literary tradition and yet, the authors broke the rules of grammar like crazy!
Understanding exceptions and rules and when it's proper to BREAK the rules is very important!
