I wonder if they ever flip out "bad" ideas to see if they're dealing with a "yes man". Doesn't seem to be their style, but it's not like I really know them well.

Not intentionally, but we get the same effect unintentionally because a lot of the ideas we suggest are bad and we later realize it.
Be careful. A non-yesman might still say "yes" in the room to shut the guy up, and then just not do it.
