hmmmm. Good points. esp:

> Part of the transition from student to junior to senior is learning to filter your own ideas, and to guide others in the search for ideas that are likely to be fruitful.

I wonder how that'll change over time now. I think it's pretty important to have a few instances of thinking hard to come up with ideas and being totally convinced they are correct, only to have someone else trounce them with one or two succinct thoughts of their own. Those were very big personal development moments for me. And equitable, I still have folks with a lot less exp/time come out of left field with maybe not as formulated, but amazing ideas.
