the statement "all creation is precious" is true from the perspective of someone else that also likes to "create" things by rearranging/juxtaposing/building off of content that already exists. the more "content" that is out there, no matter how trivial it may seem, increases the amount of source material that can be sifted through to find the perfect building blocks for something else.
