   Yes. It doesn't mean there are no convention, it means the user is free   
   to ignore them. It's not the same thing. I'm pretty sure there are   
   /home, /etc and /bin directories on your computer. You can use anything   
   you want instead, but you don't because you follow the conventions even   
   if you aren't aware of them.

   How can they conform to conventions if they don't exist? You see? Once   
   again you speak nonsense.
