Judgement vs. rules

"Growing up is more a matter of courage than knowledge: all the information in the world is no substitute for the guts to use your own judgement. And judgement can be learned – principally through the experience of watching others use it well – but it cannot be taught. Judgement is important because none of the answers to the questions that really move us can be found by following a rule." (11)

Surprising thing for a Kantian to say! What is a "categorical imperative" if not a rule?
