I think manipulating people into believing something that's not true is a bad thing, even if it improves the bottom line. To think otherwise, I submit, is the truly cynical view.

But it doesn’t matter. If two people think they came to the same design together it doesn’t matter if someone else already did ahead of time.

The important thing is that they have convinced themselves that it makes sense.

You don’t even have to lie. You can go into a meeting as a lead and say that you have an idea of how something might look but you want the group to come up with a design anyway.
