"This doesn’t make this [big abstract] idea less valuable to pursue further." But such ideas often need to be heavily driven by the one with the idea. Even people receptive to the idea often misunderstand such a vision. So for practical purposes the idea is BS unless the person with the idea is actively working on it. It doesn't need to be proven yet, but if the person with the idea isn't working on it, probably nobody else will. Sure, sometimes big ideas inspire others, but often the ispiration is more of a winding path rather than a direct "I read this big idea and did it".
