The rules as written, tell you not to follow the rules as written. Play the way everyone at your table wants to play. The basic rules are a guide for if you can't make up anything you like better.

BG3 handled it by saying what the hell, let the players have their crit success on a skill check.

And that is the greatest example I can think of where a dm follows the rules intimately and methodically but still welcomes the house rule of cool.
