| Any simple idea is approximate; as an illustration, consider an object, | |
| … what is an object? Philosophers are always saying, “Well, just take a chair for example.” | |
| The moment they say that, you know that they do not know what they are talking about any more. | |
| What is a chair? Well, a chair is a certain thing over there … certain?, how certain? | |
| The atoms are evaporating from it from time to time—not many atoms, | |
| but a few—dirt falls on it and gets dissolved in the paint; | |
| so to define a chair precisely, to say exactly which atoms are chair, | |
| and which atoms are air, or which atoms are dirt, | |
| or which atoms are paint that belongs to the chair is impossible. | |
| So the mass of a chair can be defined only approximately. |

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.
Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.
