BIG snip or really great stuff that we have to be aware of and I agree
with. For clarification's sake, I was responding to the thread on
Innovation and the notion of making leaps of faith, etc. The sentence
quoted was the last line of the message. It's meaning in the context of
the thread is this:

Innovation, change, creativity, and the like are based on facts which are
rearranged in such a way as to create something new. It's all of the other
stuff that Dave talked about in his message that make this new
interpretation possible.

peace...
