I dislike writing rules. Like cattle chutes, they funnel most writers into the same pen. So often, published stories read about the same.

McCarthy is brilliant in the way he weaves words into a sensory tapestry.

He is, but if I'm wrong, I've demonstrated a willingness to be wrong and not claim to love every word simply because a great writer wrote it.
And I want to say that the biggest frustration are those who check to see if a rule was followed... and not whether the writing worked. For me, I stumbled, and I saw a possible reason why.

It may have been my clumsy eyes.
