Ideas are a dime a dozen, but great ideas are not. Some ideas are better than others, and some are much better than others. It would be easy to argue that someone who could consistently come up with the much better ones would be worth just as much if not more than a great executor.

Great ideas are only great in hindsight.

I really don't think so. If in at least your own mind it is not a great idea then you shouldn't do it to begin with.

Why on earth would anyone pursue an idea they themselves didn't think was great?

Nothing is worth without some level of testing. this also applies for execution.

But testing/evaluating an idea can be easier than full blown execution. and you can use it to estimate how likely your idea would succeed.

And at this point your idea has some value.
