One of my professors told us to first read it like it was honest effort to check for "errors or omissions." Then check out the obvious conflicts and think about how would you "hot rod" it for potential profit. We would even re-write parts for those purposes and occasionally even get grades on it. One of my professors approached me before class, my paper in his hand, "Brilliant" he said, "I even called my former fellow researcher who exclaimed "Why didn't we think of that?' and it left both of us laughing."

Now this was in the 70s, which means they were already doing it in the 60s.
