Well, thank you for exposing for me the fact that there's a difference between abstract insight, and an insight as a definite object. I hadn't noticed that before, and now I think about it, it's not obvious to me that the two are closely-related.
So sure: an insight can be conveyed in writing. And I suppose that if that's true, it doesn't matter where the writing came from.
Worm: What is the secret of enlightenment, Master?
Master: You gotta fight for the right to partaaaay!
At that moment, Worm gained insight.
The insight is from the paper to my head. The author doesn't have to matter.
