When you recognise that rules (SOPs) are for guidance of the wise, and obedience of fools.
99.999999% of your aviation career you will and should follow SOPs, it is that 0.0000001% ocassion that you need your experience. Blindly following SOPs is an invitation to trouble.
It's a little like driving, if I'm in a 30mph area and are going through a crossing and yet see a car pull out through a red light, then instantly my experience and instinct take over, if that means me accelerating to avoid them, so be it, even if it takes me over the speed limit. It would have breached my "SOP" but I won't be in hospital, or worse.
