Need a bit more evidence before this topic can go live.

The way I have always seen Creative Sterility used on this wiki, it means a race, culture, or character that lacks creativity on some fundamental level (and the trope's laconic page says essentially the same thing). What the trope's main page describes instead, however, is essentially "Humans Are Creative", that is, "everyone except (unmodified) humans has Creative Sterility", giving reasons such as Cybernetics Eat Your Soul, Humans Are Special and whatnot. I believe that the trope's description needs to be rewritten so that it is clear that this trope does not necessarily apply to non-humans in relation to humans. Humans Are Creative, on the other hand, may very well work as a trope of its own (as a subtrope of Humans Are Special).
