What doest it matter if you "agree"
or "disagree"?
What does it change?

Dense.
Creativity is not the ability to "combine available knowledge".
It is a LEAP into unknown.
You can as well cancel any "knowledge"
and jump into some place where you have never

You are being a bookworm,
or a bean counter,
reducing creativity to the taxman's level.
Anything else?
