I disagree, personally, because I don't like sticking to one particular tree.
The real master transcends the given rules, the given paths. Sure, he or she must have walked them before, but transcending is only achieved when everything is left behind.
I have just seen the movie "Rango" on DVD this evening; it is an good example of this transcendence of a given thing. It is a
"Hero's Journey" in literature.
And in real life a master of let's say crafting is only then one when he or she has transcended the given and needed rules needed to produce craft-work so that it becomes art.
Because Art is transcended Crafting.
