Right; it's got a different structure than say, a limerick or a haiku. The point I was trying to make is that a genius could come up with new structures, solutions, or insights instead of using the same thing over and over.

a genius is someone who can make connections between 2+ pieces of information that no one thought of before.
I expect often that's just because their brains are wired a bit diffferently.
Perhaps whether or not it gets them counted as genius or just plain nuts depends on whether or not they can develop that connection in a systematic and useful way, the 99% prespiration part of it

hehe...:rolleyes:
and generally, the reason one is more of a genius than someone else is because their brains are wired differently...
