Even if you accept that anything innovative looks like a bad idea to almost anyone[1] that doesn't mean that anything that looks like a bad idea is per se innovative and just misunderstood. There are things that are just terrible ideas. Lead swimming trunks. Asbestos baby clothes. etc I could come up with thousands of things that the vast majority of people would think are a bad idea because _they are_.

[1] which I totally don't buy. If you think about the early internet as an example - the vast majority of people I knew didn't _understand_ it, and/or didn't _care_ and certainly didn't have any sense of its future, but no one that I knew thought it was a bad idea. If they thought about it all they thought it was irrelevant to them until they absolutely got it and couldn't get on board fast enough.
