Mixmax, you don't seem to realize that in your explanation execution is a multiplier too!

Let me rewrite your comment below:

So you can think of execution as a multilplier, where the better execution will give somebody with a good idea a better output.

To explain:

bad execution: x0,5

OK execution: x1

good execution: x5

great execution: x10

etc

No, because a good idea without any execution is worth nothing.

This is what you said: good idea x 0 = 0. Execution is a multiplier, according to you.

Ahh it's the other way around. Sorry, math isn't my speciality, I'm just the guy doing the powerpoints and wawing my arms around convincing people wearing ties that whatever I happen to do at the moment is the best thing since sliced bread...

But thanks for clearing it up. Modded you up to make up for it :-)
