Being exposed to old/existing ideas doesn’t stop people from coming up with new or improved ideas - quite the contrary, it serves as a potential inspiration upon which one can create a better product. That’s not putting perspectives in a box, that’s just how innovation works - you build off of and improve other people’s work in an incremental fashion.

I remember when I learned DOS in a computer class, I absolutely loved creating simple scripts to do some task. Then they introduced us to Windows and basically the entire class groaned and moaned - some people actually complained to the teacher that using the mouse was "cumbersome" :)
