    Dave posted, in part:

    "I think you have characterized human creativity--almost. We often start
    with stuff ordered one way (an artist's palette is not disordered, though
    it gets to looking rather messy to those who don't understand what is
    being done) and produce a new order, one that is ideally thoroughly
    novel. One can also produce an order with paint by number that is
    superior to the product done from scratch. But that is not creative.

    I see a concept/metaphor there struggling to get out. Thanks.
