    What’s with the assumption that just because a person understands something that they can’t possible expand on it? Additionally why would being “creative” mean that you can’t think “inside the box.”

      Because it’s a stereotypical black and white world and someone cannot do both, okay?!

      In reality, creative new advances can only be made by mastering the “inside the box” part to a degree where one can ascend it.
