Every once in a while I wonder if something like Eliezer’s Lawful Creativity is true—that creativity can be reduced to following rules. And then I come across something like your comment, where a non-obvious “jump” leads to a clearly true conclusion. For humans trying to create new stuff, practicing such “jumps” is at least as important as learning the rules.
What a beautiful comment!
