that is a funny story. Writing being inspiration and not just punch it out "whenever" is something that a lot of people just do NOT comprehend.
In studio construction, the comprehension wing is generally located on a different corridor from the executive wing. The scariest group is the so-called 'creative executives', a cabal that thinks it comprehends when, in fact, it doesn't.
An example. Twenty years ago, a friend was pitching TV shows to a studio 'creative' executive. The exec. heard his pitch, then said he had an idea of his own that he was looking for someone to develop. His idea had a bigoted right-wing father, a simpering mother, a cute daughter and a liberal son in law. The guy went on for some time about how this family would interact with each other until my friend stopped him and pointed out that there was already a show called "All in the Family", to which the 'creative exec' replied, "No, no, you don't understand, this one is completely different. In my show, the family are Smurfs."
