Hm, I find this a pretty interesting question, at first I strongly disagreed but I'm sort of coming round to your point of view. If the rules of form are only being checked externally, either by a machine or by other humans, are you working formally or informally? If you submit classical paintings over and over until the curator accepts you got the form right, were you following the laws of form? Is it possible that Bach intuited the formal rules of fugue so deeply that he was actually writing informally?
