It's fair to say this is line of conversation is tangential to the original post, but respecting the passion of your reply, do you think ideas like those represented in The Lean Startup perhaps over-rationalise the creative process?

Like, taking a rough guess, I wonder if there aren't as many successful startups, as there are successful writers. But no one takes those guides to writing a successful book quite as seriously as those guides to running or starting a successful business.
