Sure, agreed. That is not the case that is being referred to here, where someone was assigning over IP that they had built while employed by the company but without an explicit agreement about who owns that IP. In this case, $1 or $20 would have been completely fine, as it was consideration for past IP. The work had already been paid for (salary, benefits, etc).
