In short, stop placing so much value (or any value at all) on 'the idea'
If you could implant the _exact same idea_ into multiple entrepreneurs' brains and wait 5 years, you'd likely still get wildly diff companies. More so if you also vary 1) founding year and 2) for-profit vs government service This is why "X. You invented X." sounds so silly to me
