i think we're talking at cross purposes. quoting myself:
>> ...everyone's doing the same thing: avoiding pain, uncertainty, and the limitation of their future choices; seeking pleasure, security, and to increase their future choices.
do you think that doesn't characterize the motivating factors that lead to invention?
Re-reading what was said, I believe we might be cross talking.
The 'reasonable way' that most people believe is to 'do it as its always been done'.

We as humans tend to to believe that this is the easiest path. Inventors and innovators are not a majority in the population, often popularized as outcasts or outliers in society through popular story tale.
Only in the last few decades has this narrative changed, but I can agree that indirectly yes, these avoid pain, uncertainty and limitation of their future choices.
