It never ceases to amaze me how difficult it is to come up with something worthwhile and original (pedants, no need to point out inspiration or standing on the shoulders of giants) without years of work. Art, science, music, whatever. Yeah, there are lucky one-offs, but even something as simple sounding as “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction” distills the semi-intuitive into something concrete and explainable.
