“Although people who had achieved a great deal in science and technology talked of the inscrutability of creativity, I was not convinced and disbelieved them immediately and without argument. Why should everything but creativity be open to scrutiny?

Selection processes and abandoned products and product forms are usually not discussed.”

Then the non-repeatable experiment will be understood to be more primary than the traditional repeatable experiment.”
