Point 1: learn the difference between "then" and "than." It's not hard!

Point 2: What can your question possibly mean? How would this "creativity" show itself, if not in playing better moves? Do 2400-2500 players play deeper combinations than Carlsen? No. Do 2400-2500 players develop more imaginative middle game plans than Carlsen? No. Are 2400-2500 players better than Carlsen at finding hidden resources that breath new life into dull looking positions? No. Are 2400-2500 players better than Carlsen at conjuring up miraculous winning chances in the end game? No.

someone like tate, who is known as being a brilliant tactical chess player would be equal to magnus, just in terms of tactics

I believe it's true. I'm a much lower rated player and look at this great picture I made:

Maybe creativity can mean coming up with new strategies and tactics rather than simply being very good at existing ones.  Maybe not executing ideas as well as higher rated players, or not having a photographic memory for past games but thinking outside the box more and having a tendency to not produce boring draws even if it means more defeats.

Ask any 2400-2500 if they're more creative than Carlsen and they'll laugh at you.

I don't think anyone's strength is greater than Carlsen's right now, but then again, I'm not qualified to judge play at that level anyway.
