Rule 5 is probably also less relevant in the days of ebook publishers and their reduced overhead.
To be honest I agree with you. I think he was just being his pedantic self when he wrote that. I can see only you have a piece in shape, then to edit it needlessly is wrong, but if you have a good reason to change it then GO FOR IT! I say.

Again, with #5 it's a judgement call....
