Great topic, Martin. I’d like to add that this goes for crits too, even (especially!) from people you might think of as ‘better’ or ‘more advanced’ than you. Ultimately I think learning to write well is as much about learning which feedback/rules don’t work for you as what does work for you.

@rschibler Agreed. We crave certainty. There isn't, there's just ideas to consider as we stumble in the darkness.

If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn't expecting it. ~ H.G. Wells
If a person offend you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick. ~ Mark Twain
