I simply meant that "one point of idea quality" != one point of execution quality, but since its all made up abstract stuff anyway, I suppose all I meant is that a "good idea" has a different value than "good execution" (some people say more, some people say less).
- marcosdumay 11y agoI got that, I was nitpicking about the formula, but not too much. I still have a point to make (and did communicate it badly). What I don't get is any relation between "point of idea quality" and "point of execution quality" that could survive a second of thought. This is too much like mixing different unities, that are ok to multiply but not to compare at face value. I don't see how "execution is worth more than idea", or the other way around, or anything in between could ever make sense.
- dkersten 11y agoYou're probably right. I haven't really thought about it that much, I'm just trying to articulate how I understand what I've heard. I personally think that perhaps good ideas without execution have little value, but execution without good ideas probably has equally little value. I say this because I've experienced cases where I had an idea that I thought was good, but did nothing about, only to (later) find somebody else who did the exact idea I had in exactly the way I would have. Clearly the idea had value for that person, but not for me - but the only difference is execution.
