Doing something in a new way is not an important accomplishment, doing something in a better way is. If a new way of doing something is scientifically designed to produce crap, it's far from an accomplishment. It's a waste.
Having a large group of people vote on a movie is the easiest way to ensure a result that is mediocre for its budget range.
I disagree. Doing something in a new (and curious) way is definitely a worthwhile venture (if not an accomplishment). There is a very good chance that new way can inspire other people do something the better way. New ways inspire ideas in people, which is good.
Yeah, I disagree with that. New is not, in and of itself good. Granted, good and new is better than good alone, but new itself is not as good as either.
