Shmuel's point is well taken. Justice Holmes said that rules are for clerks.
Here as elsewhere there is no substitute for experience and judgment. The gratuitously split infinitive is problematic, but "to only bypass an error hold if there is a sound reason to do so for a specific PTF" is very good substantive advice; and one of its merits is that it makes the need for judgments explicit.
