Your comment makes sense to me. However, it also contradicts the notion that ideas are pretty much worthless (it's all about the execution). Are they really worthless, or are we just saying they are worthless?

They care about things like that. Why make it harder to get VCs interested? Note that "ideas are worthless" is usually brought up in context of private discussion, not public disclosure. Private discussions don't start the clock ticking. They DO affect trade secrets, as far as I know. If you tell someone your secret sauce, and they aren't under NDA, then your claim to a secret is lessened. I am not a lawyer.
