Yes and finding small novel new things to do is big part of the way you show you are worth a masters degree

Actually, i find this notion harmful. I consider senior PhD students to be able to assess whether an idea in their field is novel, feasible, and in the right scope given fixed resources. I would never expect that from Master students. That does of course not mean that students can’t have great ideas, but it’s not mandatory for a degree.
