Hi Terry, You wrote: "The reality is that humans behave very predictably, and have a limited range of responses that they apply in a very routine fashion. This is especially obvious with creative professionals." In the spirit of the Silly Season, it would be remiss of me not to point out that you must be right, as this is evidenced by the predictability of your views. More seriously, would it be possible to point us in the direction of clear evidence to support such statements (I know that you believe in the importance of evidence), making a clear differentiation between random personal opinions/ hobby-horses and that which is informed by research? Can we assume that, because his work has a clearly recognisable visual identity (you use the reductive term that so many non-artists use, 'style') Picasso's work was 'predictable'?
