To be fair, you wrote
"the fastest way to get people to stop telling you their ideas" which sounds a lot like shutting people up.
To be fair, directly after the snippet you quoted, he had written "that they want you to build".

To be fair, again, if that was what I meant, that's what I would have written.
My point is to get people out of the mindset of "if I could someone ELSE to do all of the hard work, I'd be a gazillionaire."
My approach is to tell YOU how to seize the opportunity and get your idea rolling; I'm far too busy to do all of the work for you so you can retire rich, but I will gladly point you in a great direction and lay out your next steps. The reality is that you won't do it once you realize that YOU will actually have to do the grunt work.
