I think many of the rules can be and should be broken but only if you know them. One of the biggest themes in composition for me is not what to include but rather what to exclude, this is something that many photo snappers don't understand. I believe also that for some people the rules become more natural than for others, even if they don't know about them already. For example, I see now that even when I was starting photography I had the vision of not putting everything in the center of the image as many do even if I didn't know about rule of thirds etc.
