Well, your metaphor is actually implying by itself what is the more creatve/innovative process.
Creating new puzzle pieces is a far more creative process than making combinations of existing puzzle pieces. Even because of the simple fact that thanks to these new puzzle pieces you can make even more combinations. Not mentioning the art and skill needed to invent a puzzle piece that's never existed before (making combinations of puzzles is a rather derivative process – no artisan skill needed; only some free time and boredom).
