Yes, I generally agree with this. Fertile soil may abound for countless years before just the right seed takes hold. The presence of fertile soil should not eclipse what the seed becomes, but neither should "what it becomes" be seen as independent from that fertile soil. If there is a "myth of the myth", it is only that the concept of "lone genius" focuses too much on the achievements of the seed, while the "myth of the lone genius" focuses too much on the fertile soil. The truth is somewhere in the middle.
