First, I like the allusion to something more explicit in "Half-Vast Execution"...

Your gripe reminds me of lyrics from what is, IMHO, a great song:

You can dream a little dream Or you can live a little dream I'd rather live it 'Cause dreamers always chase But never get it

Song = No Regrets
Artist = Aesop Rock

Essentially, it's easier to envision a grand scheme than it is to enact one. For this reason, you will always have more thought than action. Which is why those who can move from the draft table to factory floor are called entrepreneurs and are often rewarded handsomely for their time and energy. Any why, I think, those who find success once find it time and again. I think fear of failure also plays prominently. Your ideas are always successfull, your actions are not. Therefore, it's much more rewarding psychologically to think big thoughts and imagine reaping the rewards of success than it is to try and fail...

Reminds me of another little quip: Those who can, do. The rest are consultants.
