Yes, it's evidently, demonstrably, the case that ideas have value, because this is enshrined the concept of intellectual property. Even in a world where IP didn't exist, his statement would be wrong, because there will always be people who can sell an idea, and the value of something is exactly what someone else will pay for it.

That's a near-perfect example of his point.

You are aware, I assume, that the Winklevoss twins were awarded $65 million for "their" idea?
