The unexpected application of a feature can be creative or innovative, which I 
firmly believe is something this community embraces.  How many ways can a screw 
driver be used ... think MacGyver :)  Deteriming whether it's creative vs. 
stupid would require an understanding of the context in which it was applied. 
For example, using our screw driver to remove a splinter would be rather stupid, 
IMHO ;)
