Think of it as a tool rather than a rule.

Understand what drawing from the shoulder does, and how it affects your drawing. Maybe it helps with smoother lines and better control but lessens your finer motor controls (using your fingers/wrists).

Honestly, no one really draws only from their shoulder. I really only see it when people do the knife or overhand grip for larger drawings. You can watch videos of artists like KJG or Iain Mccaig and you can see they use a combination of many arm/wrist/finger movements.

There's really no rules, just tools :^)
