Truer Words were never spoken.

What particularly annoys is also that every idea must have a creation story, aka a logical explanation how it came to be in a logical,incremental, analytical step by step way. Even if it never was born this way.

I guess, "I stuffed strange stuff and books into my brain- and one sunny day my sub-conscious gave birth to this. It can invent a how-its-made-story too, if you need that." scares a lot of people, because the process cant be learned, not be controlled, not refined or quantified.

Agreed. The process is spontaneous and natural. But it can be and usually is damaged, that is confined to smaller and smaller areas of one's life or worldview.

If it could be the ideas would have already been found.
