Ran into a good and funny blog called "McMansion Hell".

I think her point was that turrets look goofy and out of place in houses that are not otherwise trying to harken back to Victorian or similar style homes, too much thoughtless eclecticism is bad for the "unity" of the design and makes it look like the designer picked out a bunch of random things that "looked cool", not caring about how they all fit together.
