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.
