Your example isn’t that accurate. Imagine being a talented sailor coming into an already sea worthy vessel. That’s for sure worth something.

Now imagine having to create convince people to invest in your crazy boat idea, build the darn ship, prove it won’t sink, and then finally do some sailing.

In no alternate universe is sailing a ship the same as all the other steps. Maybe you’re just as talented as the main dude/owner of the ship. But you sure as heck don’t have the experience or skill in building a sea worthy ship.
