Thinking about where ideas come from is valuable. This thing that I'm intuiting, but don't have a firm logical path to prove or explain: - Is it actually grounded in subconscious observations of real things, and things that I'm learning but cannot yet articulate? - Or is it just something that I made up and I'm pursuing uncritically? Being able to tell the difference more of the time saves a lot of effort.
