It allows them to jump on ideas from people who actually do have the capacity to come up with ideas and develop them. Brainstorming is only valuable for people who don’t have any ideas of their own.

It's true that brainstorming is valuable when done well. The problem is that conducting a good session is frequently more difficult than the problem under discussion.

Many people call "brainstorming" to have a meeting with no agenda nor goals and expecting to get innovative and creative ideas to change the world out of it. Of course, in that case, "brainstorming" doesn't work; the problem is, that is not brainstorming.It's like saying "cars were never good for sailing" when cars are not made for (and therefore should not be used for) sailing.

The study obviously failed to consider some of the factors as elaborated by Sam. Experience is still our best source of information. I still think brainstorming is a good idea.
