If you are asking me, then no, I don’t think he is better. I don’t even think that words better/worse/etc. even apply to such a subjective comparison. Useful for different purposes – maybe. As for more/less creative, one will need to arrange a creativity scale to compare two different types of creativity. I would say that creating “wubblebucker” (putting two words by each other) is as creative as recognizing that a^2+2ab+b^2 is a factored out version of (a+b)^2, or even less. But it’s subjective, and so would be any ‘creativity scale,’ so I don’t think there will be any point of doing that.</p>
