There's probably enough distiniction to allow Matt some leeway here. I see a big difference between adapting from the past to solve a new problem, and having someone tell you how to solve the current problem.

Edit: Interesting to note that the kickoff broadcast of 2011 kept the GDC's minibot designs in a black box. It would make sense that they would not present both the problem and the solution in the same kick-off broadcast.
