I've always found experience to be just as valuable at times as creativity.
Granted, creativity is innate. Experience allows people to nurture their natural gifts. Experience allows someone to launch past the first level thinking that we all do when starting a project. It enables us to know what will work and what won't faster.
I don't think people can learn creativity. They can learn thinking creatively, and re-apply creative ideas that other people have already thought up, masking them as their own. But I think creativity is a natural talent, like jumpshots and memory retention.
Someone who's creative but argues that experience isn't necessary (or is damaging) needs to exercise patience and humility.
They already have what others can't have. They should just do the time.
