Cornstarch should not always be substituted for flour.

Back in the day, our company's campus cafeteria had a young
Mexican-American chef. He made his weekly offering of biscuits n'
gravy with cornstarch (the gravy). This made the gravy look and taste
really bizarre.

I mentioned it to him and his defense was, "It's my poetic license as
a chef". I quit eating at that particular cafeteria.
