Sounds like an interesting book, Val. Though - I have to say that my gut response was that it wasn't a good choice of terms, I think more highly of those who really are master craftsmen.
I may not have been as clear as I could have been: he actually thinks very highly of master craftsmen. The top tier of this group are people who are brilliant at something technical (such as mathematics) and who are able to focus like crazy on an idea and and use their abilities to really really carry it through.
He describes the creative types as being able to peer into the darkness and pull fantastic new ideas out of it.
The MC aren't always so great with the creative stuff and the Seers aren't always so great at the technical stuff. This is why he argues that both groups are absolutely essential. They can be suspicious of each other because they're so different, but the system has trouble when only one group dominates (which he argues is the case now in theoretical physics).
