It's not that a particular idea does not have any value; it's that without proper execution, it does not realize its potential value. In my career in computers, I have come across people with great ideas a few times, who have done nothing with that idea (primarily because they wouldn't leave their safe jobs), only to see it become insanely successful when someone else, who had the same idea independently, executed on it. So the idea obviously had value, but only because the potential was realized with the execution.
