"It is only by thinking about their interrelationship that we can understand processes of creativity and cultural change." (Creativity, Communication and Cultural Value)
I think the above sentence is the same meaning as the following
: We can understand processes of creativity and cultural change only by thinking about their interrelationship.
But I think 'That we can understand processes of creativity and cultural change is only by thinking about their interrelationship.' is incorrect. And in this reason I think "It is only by thinking about their interrelationship that we can understand processes of creativity and cultural change." is not correct either.
Do you consider "It is only by thinking~that we can understand processes..." correct? Is it common to use "It is only by ~that clause"?
