Agree this is the best approach.

But a word of warning on another line... don't be tempted to discuss your grievance with colleagues, no matter how much you like or trust them, talking down something is like a virus: it might get infectious, and the worst is that people start to see you as not really buying in to the whole project. Both are not good outcomes.

Think about it another way too, does it matter if you don't get it? It's not your idea anyway, but you can help make it great and gain experience from that. It'll help you when it comes to making your own thing work - which I feel is probably what you want to do.
