Earlier quoted context omitted.

No, because a good idea without any execution is worth nothing.

This is what you said: good idea x 0 = 0. Execution is a multiplier, according to you.

Ahh it's the other way around. Sorry, math isn't my speciality, I'm just the guy doing the powerpoints and wawing my arms around convincing people wearing ties that whatever I happen to do at the moment is the best thing since sliced bread...

But thanks for clearing it up. Modded you up to make up for it :-)

Look at the empirical evidence. If you can point to just one example of someone making a million dollars of an idea without any execution I'll buy you a beer. On the other hans I can give you countless examples of people that made millions on execution without an original idea.
