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 ;)
