I like lots of dormers, roof levels, turrets on other people's houses (not my own of course). They are nice to look at when you walk by and give the neighborhood character. In the latter part there were what I consider McMansions, pretentious houses too large for their lots made of cheap materials that look fake.
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.
