The whole difficulty of the hard complexity questions such as "Is P=NP?" hides in the non-trivial, "corner" cases. Sure, we have SAT solvers that are by many practical standards really good. P=NP would imply that we can relatively easily find polynomially long proofs to many hard propositions, such as the P=NP problem itself! Or many other open mathematical problems. Creativity is an anthropomorphic, abstract concept, a way of describing human ways to find solutions. What really matters is the proofs. |
