In my opinion it's a fluid situation so that either you can do no wrong or you can't do anything right -- depending completely upon the reader's position and disposition.

You learn the highway code - then you drive. Then you mostly remember the rules automatically and drive, observing the rules when you want to. Same as screenwriting. BUT e.g. to put a plant in a screenplay without a payoff is just plain dumb. (etc)
