 It's like electronic design. Splatter your brain all over the solution
space and invent things.

John Larkin hasn't invented anything - based on his patent count - and it shows.
The process doesn't involve splattering your brain across the solution space but rather tracking down initially implausible trains of thought.
You are exploring the solution space, as opposed to sampling it at random.
