I interpreted this quite differently - although the majority of us aren't able to write a JLS quality proposal, Joe wanted us to at least try to the best of our available time and ability, and in the process think more deeply, critically even, about our own respective proposals. Personally I found that to be the most interesting part by far, even though I can't claim to have done an amazing job of it. Challenging? Certainly. Even disappointing sometimes when you realise that a favourite idea just doesn't cut it. But excruciatingly boring? Really? Fundamentally, it was (and is) all about trying to tip the balance of ideas and analysis in favour of quality rather than quantity, for once. That's always going to be hard.
