"she hands out two artificial constraints"

But that's very important. People are constantly working under ... and handing out ... artificial constraints. Getting outside the box is one of the most important lessons. Who could possibly want to communicate but be limited to only 140 characters?

The US spent a million dollars to develop a pen that could write in no-gravity. The Russians used a pencil.

Not using the $5 at all thinking outside the box is. You break a rule that thought existed before you thought about it. It is a constraint on your mind, not your world. This is a space pencil.

Using $10 instead of $5 is not thinking outside the box.

For some people finding fault is easier than seeing the point.
