Oh, I did not meant to imply that the framework necessarily makes it so that the results open like a softened, rubbed nut, as Grothendieck said; I don't quite agree with that. For me, the benefit is rather in building a mental framework, which facilitates understanding, and putting seemingly disparate things into one coherent whole. The actual hard thinking and insights are still necessary, it ain't no royal road.
