Bob,
Nicely written.
As you know, I feel that we can only think linearly.
I'm not declaring this as a fait accompli - merely expressing an opinion.
I think that accomplished linear thinkers may give the impression of something extra, but this may be no more than highly skilled thinkers using their abilities to the fullest.
I liken it to the "look-say" campaign. Educators studied the way adults read and concluded that kids should be taught to read in the same way - learning whole words, phrase, and so on. So phonetics went out the window. It was a mistake.
I sent this, but it never arrived at FW. It's amusing but makes a point. It came from my daughter.
