Actually... that's exactly the sort of polarised view that prompted my post. Making it a question of priorities means you'll always look at a problem with a prejudiced view. My point was about opening your mind to the possibilities of an idea, rather than dismissing it. It's got everything to do with imagination, that's why I quoted Einstein, but it could easily be applied to, say, Le Corbusier.
