I would never say this approach was wrong but personally I've always loved the way that, by treating the existing, highly detailed, "knowledge" as fact and combining two or more "facts" in new ways, I can produce plots which I would never have thought up faced with a blank sheet of paper

This seems to me to be a magical, wonderful process

Even more magical is the fact that, off the top of my head, I can't think of an example right now (is this some kind of God Learnerish memory removal?) :-)
