DHH is talking about something very specific: the role of formality on creativity and creative individuals. Curtis is taking about rules in business organisations. Formality and rules are not the same thing. Creative people and business organisations are not the same thing. His examples are subsequently skewed. IBM may be a thriving business but are they considered a highly creative company? Also, what has raising a kid got to with anything, DHH is not offering parenting advice and there are no parallels with running a business. While Curtis is tearing apart his straw men, he seems to have missed the point of the article.
