this is a fancy argument but it doesn't fit reality. A good chunk of problem solving is breaking them down and rcognizing what is already solved so you can solve what isn't. If there are lecturers out there teaching students that software engineering is a some sort of "creative endeavour" where you constantly invent new things at all time then that's actually a danger to society.

I teach students who write code for VFX software, Simulations and Games so it is a "creative endeavour" :-)
