^^^ I wouldn't dismiss it entirely.
Think about it, there are certainly a lot of general guidelines that do seem to help make images work better. Rule of thirds, take up the frame with the subject, keep the horizon straight, look for interesting angles, repetition, colors, yadda yadda.
There's no doubt that these things don't always work, nor are they always necessary, but they frequently do have a lot of impact.
I dunno... it's just interesting. I'd like to see how a group following rules like this would critique a big group of photos and see what the results are like.
