Worse yet, if you're not an expert(with autodidacts potentially qualifying), your ideas won't be original anyway.

You'll be inventing a lot of novel cicular apparatus with a pivot and circumferencrial rubber absorbers for transportation and it'll take people serious efforts to convince you it's just a wheel.

In most domains, working on a project for a few years will make you an expert.

And in some other domains it takes a few decades to get to the top technically, not just a few years.
