> knows wouldn't work and passing them off as correct, framing it that way is laughable.

I don't think this completely true. Considering something that wouldn't work often still leads to ideas, because it kicks your brain of a rut it may be in. This is why it can be incredibly useful to brainstorm with someone that doesn't have expertise in a topic. They'll say zany things that can be inspiring!

Random word sequences are a pretty common way to get inspiration. Something more "on topic" can't be that bad.
