Creativity vs. Knowledge

"The more you know how to do something the less creative you become" Agree or disagree?
e.g the more tehcnical knowledge you have of using a camera, the developed understanding you have of film results results in less creativity because you are bound by the rules you have learnt?

We were given this quote in class and were asked to discuss it and debate about it. In my opinion, I disagree with this statement but I also understand the other point of view to why people would agree with this statement. I think creativity comes from inspiration and knowledge. People try to strive for originality however, I believe everything has been done before but it's not necessarily about doing something that's never been done before, but about doing something different in your own way (which has been done before), which makes people stand out. The knowledge that you know can help create something creative through camera shots and techniques, mise-en-scenes etc... once knowing the basics of these techniques, it is then easier to apply that knowledge to the creative process. On the other hand, I can understand the other side of the argument that is agreeing with statement as people feel that the knowledge will limit the creativity as inspiration can lead to copying and therefore not being very creative.
