When evaluating melodies, when writing songs, when hearing what you are playing, there is a big difference between being stuck in your own ear and your own listening experience versus trying to sense what other people will hear and appreciate.
Even though I do have my own accumulated musical universe - built up from music I have heard, and played and composed and talked about - I hope I can recognize that there is more to music than that. And knowing that my personal experience is limited is going to help me appreciate music (and compose it) that reaches out to people other than me.
That viewpoint - that there is a world bigger than mine - is important to remember when discussing musical creativity, isn't it?
