The reason this rule is so important to understand is that if you were to break the conventions of the rule you would need to know how to make the audience understand it and not get confused with the narrative, therefore you need to understand it so you can play with the conventions to create something original.
As an example this rule is best shown to be explained best through a conversation between two characters, the reason for this is that they can both can look at each other and it does not get complicated. If we wanted to shoot the shoot from a wide angle then we would need two close ups and then create an imaginary line that cuts through the middle of the created scene because the line would make a barrier that the camera should not cross.
The reason to this is that if the camera was to cross the imaginary line within the same shot or scene then the actors would look like they were facing the same direction meaning that they would be next to each other or that the image had been flipped to look like opposite directions. The last problems to this is that it messes up with the eye line match.
