Let us recognize it, even if it is obvious : an immense majority of inventions are the fruits of inventors who :
* did not use TRIZ for their inventions
* do not know how TRIZ works
* have eventually (or surely !) never heard about TRIZ
In other words, I assume that nowadays in the world, 99,x % (0<x<1, x still to be estimated) of the inventors invent without TRIZ.
(Why ? Because TRIZ is still not very widespread. Why ? One of the reasons is that it is difficult to learn and apply : the training which is necessary to be able to apply TRIZ efficiently requires efforts, time and motivation. But this is another debate ...)
Let us assume that some seldom inventors (y %, y close to 1) are so inventive, that they do not need TRIZ. In other words, they are so brilliant that TRIZ would be of no help for them. Usually these seldom inventors have made very high level inventions (TRIZ distinguishes between 5 invention levels, and these inventors have mainly produced inventions of 4th and 5th levels). An example of a 5th level invention is the blue diode (http://archive.sciencewatch.com/jan-feb2000/sw_jan-feb2000_page3.htm) (see the picture of its inventor below)
As a result, I am absolutely convinced that TRIZ can potentially help (99,x - y)% of inventors who already invented, and the equivalently immense majority of people who would like to invent.
The same arguments work also for problem solvers and problem solving.
