Synovia, just want to make sure I understand your comment. To continue our color/b&w analogy, are you implying that color photography is more creative than black and white?
Absolutely not.
I take that to read being FORCED to use only B&W would be the creativity limiter. The difference lies in the choice to use whatever method or material you want. That is exactly how I feel about the Reinheitsgebot.
This.
Saying that brewers can't use specific materials limits what they can brew. To continue the photography analogy, if a photographer has a black and white photo and says "Wow, this would really pop in color", the reighensbotgestervogaenhaven says he can't do that, despite the fact that it will make a better image. (and the point would be the same if your reversed the positions of black and white, and color)
Thats stifling creativity.
