Thanks for the engaging response. As you say, no friction here on the sentiment or your article, I'm with you 100%. Well, let's say 97%. I was just questioning the relationship between creativity, logic and reasoning. And you hit the nail exactly on the head: what the heck is creativity?

Your follow-up explains your position brilliantly, so thank you very much for taking the time to put fingers to keyboard. To be honest, I had never thought of deductive reasoning from that viewpoint but it does strike a chord. I particularly liked your appraisal: "Another bias is that the developers of logical topology are, well, logical." So dry.
