The word "original" has positive connotations.

Except on Wikipedia (where it's usually an euphemism for ‘crackpottish’). ;-)

(As someone on a Wikipedia talk page once said -- quoting from memory, “if we aren't allowed to [do X] the allowed band between original research and plagiarism becomes dangerously narrow”.)
