Ahh John Dee, hide your spying through the mask of mysticism and report back to your masters what the other guys are upto .......
There is some value in some of the things they may talk about, but they are tainted by their own beliefs and bias.
I've followed this thread from it's first incarnation and still can't fathom what's going on with the "shenanigans". The "phenomenon" is a lot more friendly in comparison.

I am being flippant I know. Because the article is actually a good read. It doesn't come to conclusions. But it does explore the creative process with a number top people. They often believe they are being led to an answer and it doesn't come from within.

It is a good read in that it was free and short, other than that she seems to be grasping considerably with the examples she drew from, the Srinivasa Ramanujan quote is misrepresentative and taken entirely out of context. There is a substantial amount of material on this subject but she appears to have given it a very wide berth. Rather limp.

The interesting thing is the way the article is slanted to promote a certain viewpoint. That these people find a shortcut by plagiarising the secrets of the universe from 'others'.
