I think that the alternative to excessive proofreading is not an altogether rejection of standards, but a willingness to break free of them when you feel it lends a desired quality.

Grammarly and Hemingway are not really intended for artistic writing. The best they can offer to the artist is some perspective on why the readers may not see what he's getting at.

Hemingway is poorly chosen name, if it's not intended for artistic writing.

I agree entirely with that, and it doesn't even really match Hemingway's style.
