The corollary is that sometimes the limitations imposed by a tool can free up some interesting new angles. (Think haiku.) But you can't ever forget that the act of picking your tool closes off a lot of potential paths. This is a good point.

It's like what Hugh McLeod wrote in his 'How to be creative' manifesto. Don't rely too much on your tools-- especially the shiny, expensive ones because they are only psychological pillars (crutches). The tools don't make you a better artist. I agree with Bob.

I found this evident when I went to visit the Stax Museum of Soul Music here in Memphis. Most of those artists had nothing but their imagination to work with. The creativity they had came out of the absence of the things they didn't have. http://onehalfamazing.com/files/stax_creativity_from_poverty.html ~Bob So true.
