Yeah I think you have to view this exercise as optimizing for one end of the correctness-originality spectrum. Most of what is submitted is going to be uncomfortable admitting in public because it’s just plain wrong, so if this exercise is to have any value at all, it’s in sifting through all the nonsense, some of it pretty rotten, in the hope of finding one or two actually interesting things in there.

I think there are more than “one or two” interesting things there.
