Abstract	This article presents the author's brief comment on Hisham B. Ghassib's "Where Does Creativity Fit into a Productivist Industrial Model of Knowledge Production?" Ghassib (2010) takes the reader through an interesting history of human innovation and processes and situates his theory within a productivist model. The deliberate attention to creativity as human capital that informs scientific processes provides a refreshing view to processes often viewed by the lay-person as mysterious and for the few. The author would like Ghassib (2010) to operationally define "modern science." The discussion of economic impact and the number of scientists, engineers, technicians, and administrators needs a situated context. The author contends that defining the scope and context that underpin the model of scientific process and scientific practice would enhance readers' understanding of the theory Ghassib posits. After reading and responding to the manuscript, the author gave it to 9 future social scientists--known in some circles as doctoral students. The author presents the summary of their comments on and reaction to Ghassib's (2010) theory. (Contains 1 table.) (ERIC).
