Seconded. The problem is that most of the time the only source for something is the Well of Wisdom, i.e. imagination.

While i don't remember the details about this, i was under the impression that the consensus was that *citing* the sources one works from is A Good Thing, but that *sticking to* the sources is A Bad Thing. A fertile imagination is always better than any source, be they OOP or not.
