In order for the reader to know that your rule-breaking is an intentional, stylistic choice, you have to get all the other rules right. Otherwise, we're not going to think you're a visionary, we're going to think you're a moron.
I once read a mystery story that had so many blatant continuity errors and plot holes that I mistook all the "clues" for more mistakes.
Can't I just be a moron with style?
