If you concentrate on rules and technical skills all of the time, it will affect your ability to capture photos on an emotional level because you are too concerned about fundamentals.

I don't quite completely agree. It is not a well-done emotional photo unless technique and composition are above the merely "acceptable level". Remember technique and composition contribute to the impact and emotional content.

Second part is not quite true either. You need to concentrate on technique and composition in order to communicate the emotional content of the image to the viewer.
