Excellent piece, reminds me of an example I heard many years ago...
A family is sitting around the table enjoying a relaxed summer morning breakfast when in through the window flies a small alien spacecraft. It starts to fly around the kitchen, harmlessly buzzing the table. The parents freak out – she screams and grabs a frying pan to try to bat it away from her family. He dials 911 and gets his gun. The teenage daughter runs to her bedroom in terror. The eight year old son thinks it's the coolest thing he's ever seen. The baby in the high chair watches everything with bemusement and wonders what the hell all the fuss is about.

Don't think the point of view is naive, it's more that there's a principle instilled in people at an early age that you are 'left-brained' or 'right-brained' and that it doesn't tend to cross-over. Until you work in an environment that actively encourages open thinking, it's not something you tend to know exists!

A somewhat naive point of view, academic creatives have been around since the year dot, and similarly creative academics! just because someone can draw/be creative, doesn't mean they can't understand Kant...
