Great point, which hits on the problem of trying to extrapolate from anecdote. In retrospect, I should have clarified more so others can see if their circumstances approximated my own, and if they could then draw similar conclusions (full w

This is exactly how I felt when reading this! A reasonable hypothesis followed by some weak and vague experiments (how do you measure the creativity of drawings?). I'm sure many would accept the hypothesis alone (given some reasonable-
