That all makes sense. What I know of virus is all from books like Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar, which is basically a 19th century understanding: languages have particular rules one can enumerate and deviations from these rules are errors.

That understanding is basically correct. But the history of Latin is quite long, and the rules change over time.
