Scare?  A talented individual scratching a creative itch is hardly cause to be scared.
Unless you're a PHB, and terrified about bouts of creativity you can't reproduce at the wave

Celebrate the creativity, and ponder how to make it infectious, yet manageable.

History doesn't support experiments.
You can't go back in time and erase someone and verify your assertion.
What happened happened.  Accept.
