You will find that quantity leads to quality.

But seriously I think its an interesting discussion, and I think the truth might be that its a matter of preference and individuals. We all learn, think and create in our own ways, and the fact that we can't agree on how to do it best is proof of that. http://garthwalker.com/?p=73 I posted a follow-up to try to clarify why brainstorming sucks, and I hope it doesn’t make you too sad… But seriously I think its an interesting discussion, and I think the truth might be that its a matter of preference and individuals.
