I'm sure this post is at least a year late, but reading Burrahobbit's last post reminded me of something I read once by C.S. Lewis.

He said that people often read Shakespeare (as an example), and take certain regularities in his construction or rhyme schemes to be rules according to which he wrote. I suppose the identifications of "inconsistencies" on my part merely shows the lack of understanding we all share in relation to this very important subject.
