You are thinking in the line of,

A * Idea + B * Execution == N Units of success/value.

Most of the people here believe,

C * Idea * Execution == N units of success/value.

Ideas all alone ARE worthless. Only when coupled with decent execution, they generate some success/value. They are more of a multiplier factor, than having a worth of itself.

Let me give you some (admittedly) extravagant example of ideas (They are not my original ideas).

1. cars that can fly, just based on solar energy.

2. A machine, that lets you travel through time.

3. A medicine, that makes you live forever/ you dont grow old.

Do you believe, should I (Or the person who had these original ideas/fantasy) call for the share of money, when these ideas are implemented?
