Drawing free hand perspective boxes

I started this series of drawings of boxes with the remark from the book that it is better to learn to draw straight lines free hand. The reasoning being that it is cumbersome if you have to carry a ruler around.
But drawing boxes free hand I had the feeling that it introduced a lot of mistakes.

After doing a number of perspective boxes with a ruler I find that the way perspective reshapes a box is so unexpected that it really doesn’t matter if the drawing is mathematical correct.
People won’t see the difference.
