That’s the nature of collaborative problem solving though. I’ve proposed some dumb ideas before. I’m sure you have too. There’s nothing wrong with stupid ideas being proposed. The issues arise when you either are surrounded by yes-men or are too forceful and ignore the advice of everyone else.
edit: original post was in response to another comment. My bad.
Yeah, once it stops being collaborative, it becomes a problem. The original act of just proposing a stupid idea is fine, because it’s collaborative, but as soon as one person (company,entity…) becomes too imposing to say no to, it’s just bad times.

So… when it stops being collaboration?
