El Greco had a pretty firm understanding of perspective (keep in mind he's roughly contemporary with Vasari). Claiming he "fucked up" his perspective is like claiming he "fucked up the anatomy on his notoriously elongated figures. It was intentional distortion for an effect.

Art-newbies, having just learned the "rules" of art, never fail to criticize any sort of abstraction or distortion as a mistake. We're very proud that you can spot when perspective is broken, now you can work on understanding why the rules of art are broken.
