Errr, what's that now? Since you're making a factual statement, I think it's important to understand whether it's actually correct, or just "poetically" or "hopefully" correct. And I think it's pretty clear that saying all humans have this ability is wrong. Firstly, there are numerous edge cases, e.g. people who are mentally handicapped in ways that preclude this. Secondly, there is a broad range of intelligence levels in humans. Clearly, the innovation capabilities of people at the low end of the intelligence scale is either absent, or very very limited. Not to mention that, just as clearly, most of us aren't Einstein and aren't going around making giant contributions to science. Ignoring the fact that there are inherent differences between humans, some of them large and unfortunate, is just a way of closing our eyes and burying our heads in the sand to how the world actually works.
