Well, if the people who hired the boat builder not only specified a not-floating boat, but particularly ordered one that no sensible person would recognize as boat, then I'd say the work was done to spec.  This is the case with Aquinas.  He didn't set out to attempt anything radical or groundbreaking or new (other than the Aristotelean synthesis, which others had been monkeying with for a few decades anyway), but to construct arguments that would justify the Church's position on things like the soul, the nature of God, hellfire, heresy and so on.  He did this admirably well.  He 'built the boat', but certain people on the board want to castigate him for not ignoring his boat-brief and instead setting fire to the wharf.
