Judging from Jon and Tom's comments, it sounds like it just comes down to challenging people. "Why did you do that? (and I copied it off someone else's CAD doesn't count)"
The people that are doing truly innovative things don't post them on Chief Delphi immediately. If you see a lot of designs that aren't particularly valuable on CD, it's because those with the valuable ones don't go throwing on the web before they can take advantage of them.
