"So We Meet Again!"-Replies to Gabora and Weisberg

This reply responds to comments and criticisms of Liane Gabora (2015) and Robert W. Weisberg (2015) concerning my empirical study of Thomas Edison's creative career (D. K. Simonton, 2014d). With respect to Gabora, I discuss backtracking and superfluity, the evaluation of ideas as good or bad, the quantification of responses, the network of enterprises, and other minor issues. Regarding Weisberg, I focus on domain-specific expertise, ordinary thought processes, and personality differences. I then close my response with a brief discussion of why a blind variation and selective retention theory of creativity is urgently needed in this research area.
