The origin of ideas (i.e - the formulation of hypotheses) hasn't anything to do with the scientific method.
The scientific method is to do with testing of those ideas to validate the hypotheses.

In a research setting, exploration of theories without a rigorous protocol is fraught with danger. Look at the cold fusion debacle for a classic example.
