Actually, Arthur C. Clarke DID say this, and it's not wrong. http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Arthur_C._Clarke/
Everyone realizes that there ARE some things that simply are not possible. But if you read the quote carefully, you will see the caveat "very probably". Not "certainly". We do not know everything about our own planet, much less the entire universe. At this point, we cannot say what is impossible with any certainty.

But this argument is not what this thread is about. This thread is a caution against discouraging teams from thinking outside the box.
