One of the most important rules in writing detective fiction is that the detective must not commit the crime. There are actually college courses on this stuff. It's like the 7th commandment or something. It would be borderline blasphemous for CF to be in on it.
I'm ignorant on stuff like this. If that is the case, then how come the first thing some aspiring young writer wanting ot make a name for himself wouldn't be to do just that? Defy convention and go against the grain and do something bold like that?
In the field as creative and broad as art/entertainment where there are seemingly no rules, it seems like some people here and there would do something like this just to go the opposite direction.

I think he means that in a case like that, it would no longer mean it's a detective fiction story
Kind of like if you put tits in Toy story, it's no longer a kids movie
