    jfletcher - totally agree, was just throwing out the extreme for the sake of argument and, to face facts, i'm one of us creatives. obviously creativity is important as it leads to lateral thinking etc in every walk of life.

    the only reason i ask, is that with an intellectual like sir ken you get a complete package of thought but i've had convos with people that seem to place creativity above things like mathematics as a priority for school kids. it's not a matter of learning one or the other but the basics are important and yet some newer teaching methods have led to a checkout clerk unable to give change from $5 without a calculator.
