Thats the best advice. Make your own rules. I've only ever encountered a couple of times where compression has enhanced the acid part so my general rule is not to bother. but if I came accross a method that was demonstrably superior I would eat my workds. Personally I think it dulls the edge and distorts even when used sparingly.
Just stop when it sounds right.
