…it’s almost useless for non-creative types to try to provide exegesis for the arts- they simply do not have the complexity of thought processes to approach Creationary, or Visionary, level things with a Functionary mind.

I’d replace “complexity of” with something like “impractical-explorative”, or remove it.

A functionary mindset is useful and good… but it it can’t envision much outside the realm of the already existent or definitely possible.

It isn’t easy to remain in between — to employ the functional and factual in the visionary, and to explain to both groups why this can happen and why that can’t happen, respectively.
