<p>I read his post as saying that the canonical examples we have
were more or less fixed expressions, and that we can't create
general rules from fixed expressions, because fixed expressions
might or might not follow the rules of grammar. I don't agree with
the certainty with which he claims that these expressions are
fossilized, and I disagree with his statement that looking further
into the matter is misguided, but I didn't see any prohibitions in
what he said.<br>
