Take a look at the technology sitting in front of you. How many ideas does it incorporate that were tried and failed, or were tried but languished in niche markets for decades before they became an everyday thing?

A lot of ideas fail because they're not ready: they are expensive, they are not reliable (yet), the world is not ready for them. None of those reasons mean an idea is bad. They simply mean it will take more time and effort for them to work.

“a lot of ideas fail because they’re not ready” =/= “all good ideas win out”

True, but you don't know which ideas are going to win out until they have won out (or an objectively better idea replaces them).

		I agree. I do not think we are anywhere near the original conversation anymore, however. I certainly never said anything that contradicts your comment. He had a comment that said, essentially, “all good ideas eventually win out.” He then heavily edited his comment after I responded. That could be the source of confusion for you here.
