It is valuable to continually explore and reiterate on the same idea in different ways, even though it may feel cheap. This type of work is highly commendable, and it can lead to great achievements. The topic of refining ideas is compared to Picasso's bull, which symbolizes the ongoing pursuit of perfection.
