I think that was Edison? Einstein said something like, "Creativity is more
important than knowledge," which unfortunately a lot of people seem to want to
interpret as "Hence, knowledge is unimportant," which is not at all what he
meant.

You can't really be creative unless you understand the situation. On the
other hand, people can spout things but be unable to do anything with
it because they aren't extracting from the situation.

Creativity is an extrapolation. A good example is Charles Kitchin's
work with regen and superregen receivers. He went back, looked at early
material, understood it, and then implemented solid state versions.
