Thank you counteracting the notion that "ideas are worthless, execution is all that matters"
.. it takes a lot of time and experience to know the ideas that should be executed (and how), and if you can be rewarded for that, then all the better.
To run is easy, but to run and obtain health and not illness is the key.
Knowledge isn't power, acting on that knowledge is.
Similarily, Ideas are worthless without education.
There's a funny email I saw once about a consultant finding a faulty gauge amongst hundreds in a nuclear plant or something. He charged $10,000 for finding the bad gauge. Customer got outraged. So he modified the invoice. Fixing the gauge - $1, Knowing which gauge to fix, $9,999.
The flip side of this is when knowledgeable consultants don't get things done quickly. If you're going to hire someone at $5 overseas for 1000 hours, why not just pay someone more capable $5000 locally to get it done in a month (160 hours)?
