Identifying new Thinking

What Dr De Bono refers as new thinking,namely,Creative thinking(in the sense of Lateral Thinking) One can do better by distinguishing it from Critical thinking if we talk of creative thinking systems and Critical thinking systems instead. This, of course presupposes that we are able to design the internal structure of the two systems and the inter dependence between the two. This to my mind would help people at large to appreciate and recognize the difference easily.
