Eh, sometimes I just think the showrunners make mistakes or do a poor job of trying to improve on something.It's also important to remember that the book isn't a direct first person account. The showrunners have taken some liberties because the source material is similar to biblical writing where the accounts are written years after the event. The most direct first hand source is mushroom who is likely unreliable.
For example, Commander Westerling resigning from the Kingsguard when everyone made such a big deal previously about Joffrey breaking tradition by dismissing Selmy, because Kingsguard serve for life. Sometimes the showrunners make changes that don't work. The Aemond and Luke scene they changed because of that Visery quote earlier on, Targs dont control their dragons like people think. I don't think the scene worked as well as it could have, because purposefully killing Luke is more in-line with Aemond's character than what the show did. I am sure there will be other changes I disagree with as the show moves forward, but changes are because they want to tell their story a specific way.
