Some of the people here have seen some of my particularly "creative" connections between otherwise unrelated ideas/topics/etc ... however, that doesn't make any of those connections more corrector better. I could say "I think more creatively after a half-dozen jack-and-cokes"; which is particularly true ... but that doesn't mean my decision making has become better--in fact, it's quite the opposite.

Agreed. I meant creative in a sense of out of the box thinking that this world is going to need to solve the problems we face. Of course not all of them are going to be good ideas, but that is the essence of brainstorming. You play with ideas, and the sound ones prevail.
