"how do you explain how you have an original idea, or learn something you previously had no conceptualisation of"
This is like "where does your chess intuition come from" - and what I'm trying to express is that my chess intuition isn't actually a black box. There is a set of heuristics which I follow in order to come up with these "original ideas". Some of these I learned from watching other great players. Others I learned through trial and error, by playing tons of games, just like AlphaZero. The difference between me and AlphaZero is I can describe these heuristics conceptually in a way that anyone can understand, without resorting to "it's because this move tended to work in a large portion of the million games I played".
