While I understand the point you're trying to make here aren't all rules
regading music artificial and contrived by their nature?  After all
music is something people have contrived, using that term in a non
pejorative sense.  fjm

Indeed, some of the best music to come from fluent musicians is when they
artificially and contrived to limit their available note selection over a simple
progression for example.

IHMO there are a lot of musicians I've heard who'd do much better by contriving
to artifically limit themselves.
