SocialUX, I’m sending you a virtual high five! And here is a link to my favorite essay on the point you’ve so wonderfully articulated.

As a result, we discover solutions that we otherwise never would have considered. http://www.nationalaffairs.com/doclib/20080516_196700602theprincipleofthehidinghandalbertohirschman.pdf
