It turns out that it matters more to be able to exercise judgement than to be able to create brand new things.
Most really amazing products and inventions are constructed out of technological building blocks that already existed. The Mac, the iPhone, Bitcoin, and many others that I'm forgetting. Existing technology, applied together with judgement about the way it can actually be used by The Rest Of Us, for lack of a better term.
Fun fact: Not one cryptographic primitive in Bitcoin was less than (IIRC) 7 years old when Bitcoin was first released.
