Yeah I just realized that when Seth Godin mentioned it in a talk.
There is an unlimited amount of ideas out there, so these are not the scarcity at all. So they are pretty cheap.
Being able to execute them is the big thing. The ideas that sound really worth something, like patents are created by the Engineers themselves with an incredible amount of work.
Why should anybody care about your shower idea?
This also annoys me about the "idea guys", they are often incredibly simple. They didn't do any market research to validate anything, or thought about all the possible risks.
When somebody comes to me and says: "I had an idea and spent the last 2 months doing research about it. So I modified it and now have something where I am pretty confident there is demand for it."

This is something I would take serious.
