Because what makes anyone’s work worth having isn’t the ability to recognise quality in what already exists – it’s what they generate themselves. How their mind moves. What they reach for before anyone else knows it’s there. The idea that forms before it becomes a thing anyone can judge. That’s what’s always been of value. But it’s something we rarely, if ever, examine.

~ Zoe Scaman, from The Whetstone

This would also be what would be of value from a cogitant. It’s not “how” the trick is done, it’s the effect… the outcome that matters.
