Ten million authors throughout time, and maybe the scurrying multitudes of the social media scene, might suggest that just communicating the idea renders substantial value all by itself.

Unless you consider successful communication an "execution" phaze.

But ya, if we're talking about "making machines". You could call that a way of communicating via solid example.

It reminds me of the generative art scene. So many valuable ideas communicated via relatively lightweight example. More lightweight than, say, a whole big game.
