I like to think if it as a multiplier:
idea * execution = outcome
idea * 0 = 0. "Ideas are worthless without execution"
1 * execution = execution. "with hard work, any decent idea can succeed"
100 * execution = something amazing. "great ideas can change the world"

So we get in arguments like "ideas are worthless" and debates over the importance of design. But our economy is becoming much more based on intellectual property, and I don't believe this kind of thinking, will help us in the future.
