Absolutely not. You get somebody trying to do B the A way. Not with a blank page. That's the problem.

But isnt that also interesting? They either fail to do B the A way, or they realize what things from A are applicable to B. In the latter case, we may all benefit from this cross pollination.

You don't get absolutely blank pages in any field, even now. Until somebody knows enough to contribute, they've been shaped tremendously by their teachers.
