Exactly. Even when we think something has never been done before, chances are good that it already has. But I truly believe that if we are willing to explore even a familiar idea, honestly, and in a genuine spirit of inquiry, we can take it far beyond the ordinary and expected.
Work that seems totally original is more exciting, of course, but not if the treatment is shallow and facile. Then it's just a disappointment.
