I agree. This is why outsourcing manufacturing to other parts of the world is a bad idea. Innovation occurs where the manufacturing takes place. Take batteries for example. Companies in the US thought the process was simple and there was nothing to gain from keeping the manufacturing in the US. Well, they outsourced it to other countries in order to cut costs and look what happened. Lithium Ion batteries came about.
On the same note, I have found that starting sentences out loud before I finish the complete sentence in my head yields much more content, wit, and many times even better points. (seriously, but I'm mainly forced to try this while talking to girls at the bar)
I have heard some musicians (mainly rappers) don't write down lyrics because the process of writing completely destroys the flow. Instead, they record themselves improvising, quickly realizing a better phrase should have been used, stopping, and improvising again. If they can't come up with a word or phrase to fit into the sentence, they make a sound that fits the flow and come back to it later.
In short, be involved with current material as closely as possible in order to create new material. I hope this makes sense
