Yeah! I actually believe this is more fundamental to the whole process of creativity.... I have a saying (the only one I have ever coined!): "Insight is the serendipity born of the failure to make a mistake" i.e. ready fire (shite!...missed)... then aim. Eventually you hit the bullseye by failing to miss everything that is not the bullseye.... voila!....an answer... btw...I'm thinking of writing a short paper on the long overdue death of the solipsism argument and the 'no evidence for subjective experience' dogma.... I'd like to erect a grave-stone here on the everything list!
