What you are raising is the important point that most ideas are not that good, but people hold onto them because they are theirs. Just because you think an idea is good does not make it good.<p>A truly good ideas is valuable in the same way that great team is valuable before they start working. No one says a team of world class developers is worthless before they start on a project and we should take the same approach to world class ideas. Bring them together and you have enormous value.
