The execution allows the idea to reach its potential.

If the potential is clear and enormous than I think the idea takes precedence (e.g. - whoever discovered beer).

This question is really about demand. Could you have had the demand without a seamless execution? I think that's possible to estimate in some cases.

If the potential "could possibly be huge", but the execution really helped to facilitate the demand. I vote for the execution.

Why do smart people love chicken/egg arguments so much?
