Sure, I agree with you. I think PG said that how good the idea is, is a value multiplier. I think the problem is when people believe that ideas, on their own, have inherent value.<p>But (100 idea) * (0 execution) is still = 0<p>The reverse is also true, however: (0 idea) * (100 execution) is also 0<p>I think maybe what I believe (and many people believe) is that execution is weighted higher than idea, but that doesn&#x27;t mean that idea has no value at all - just not so much that it is usually more important to execute well than worry about the perfect idea. Also, most people have many ideas, so if one fails or turns out to be bad, its not such a big deal and can be fixed.<p>Finally, we have the &quot;ideas people&quot; who bring little to the table but the idea. I would argue that these ideas have close to no value unless the person can augment it with something else of value too.
