That's a non-sequitur tossed out to avoid answering the question. And
by refusing to even address the question, you're effectively saying
that your idea is so right and righteous that you don't have to
justify it. It is obviously worth doing and questioning that isn't
worth engaging with.
You want to consider that this attitude won't get your idea very far.
