> If your idea is so groundbreaking that it can be reimplemented by someone else within a day, then maybe it wasn't actually so groundbreaking I think that's conflating complexity with "groundbreakingness." If the litmus is "reimplemented within a day," well, I can't think of many invention that _can't_ be. Take doorknobs for example (with the obvious counterpoint being that it's perhaps better to live in a world where doorknobs aren't patented as soon as they're invented).
