And I always find it funny when people don't actually read the article, because it doesn't denounce brainstorming at all, just traditional 'group brainstorming and immediately taking the results for granted'.
I always find it funny when people consider my "anecdotes" to be self-evidently delusional and utterly useless.
Guess I should just tell dozens of people that the years of frequent brainstorming we've engaged in has been a complete waste of time. Science says so!
Why do you attribute success specifically to "brainstorming" and not to some other element of the process? e.g. sharing ideas and having a conversation with your friends in a fun and low-risk atmosphere?
I think the constant brainstorming over the years has had some kind of training effect on our brains, so that we are much better at coming up with ideas than before.
