It's an enormous assumption that those who have come up with interesting ideas in situations where their minds were free to wander were feeling bored. Further, it's an example of the fallacy that correlation is causation to suggest that this assumed boredom caused the creative ideas. Therefore it's ridiculous to suggest that we embrace boredom. More likely that they were filling their minds with interesting ideas and so were not at all bored. Embrace when your mind is free to think creatively!
