I 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.
You'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.
