I can’t say I fully understood this comment, but you make a good point that sometimes you can create a novel expression and be fairly certain that people will follow you. I guess that’s not the kind of freedom I’m trying to highlight either, rather the freedom we have to decide on what the conventions of language will be.
(Non-conventional uses of language actually aren’t as incompatible with conventions as it looks. Like we could imagine conventions relating to non-conventional use).
