    I think maybe it's that woolly-thinking people are more prone to art.
    Be skeptical of the things you believe are false, but be very skeptical of the things you believe are true.

    To philosophize effectively requires a balance of logic and creative-thinking, thinking of new links and ideas; founded on a logical basis (and supported by evidence).

    Leonardo Da Vinci, being the obvious example, was hugely creative obviously and his ideas have been proven to be correct despite being three hundred years ahead of their time. Einstein with his spacetime theorum, Newton with his gravitational theory, are these not the results of creativity (among other things)? Their thinking may have their biases, but you cannot say they are woolly-thinkers, though they may be exceptions.

    On what basis have you come to the conclusion that artistic types seem prone to woolly-thinking?

    Considering what art gallerys pay for piles of bricks, heaps of rubbish and unmade beds, I would say that artists a very clever at duping people out of cash.
    But no wooly thinkers do not produce they only copy what some one with an eye on their wallets tell them..
    Perhaps I can be proved wrong but I see woolly thinkers paying and the creative idea people cashing in.

    The creative aspect of some 'modern art' is that they call it art.
    I think we all liked Damien Hirst's skull though!
