Time. Everything solid, well-thought and thorough takes it. Not just a mere wish, not just an idea. Holding onto ideas only is impractical in many cases. I'm sure some have thought there had to be other attempts before, they were indeed, but as the time shows us - weren't successful. Ideas are born all the time around us, we generate them rapidly, but what percentage of them becomes the reality? Very little. This isn't about making every idea having same percentage of possibility which realistically is unreachable. This isn't about jumping over the chapters. The progress, for best or worst, is incremental, one step at a time. One new feature at a time, one new possibility being opened and so on. It's not something to be playing with like a toy just to see what will come out of it, no. You don't toy with explosives (at least I hope you don't).
About having an ability. Ability itself has no guarantees at all. Neither did I had any, it was a risk on my part too, along with being banned for doing something previously forbidden. But one can ask to open Magellan<->NY jumpgate as many times they want for any reason they present, yet it stands closed. There other are things like that here too.
Let those who are there now do their part, so that later you could reap upon what they have seeded. But it takes time to grow a tree. Would you rather cut it straight off in hopes that the branch will give the grow to another one or would you instead wait till the tree grows up, gives the fruits, seeds, making a garden much less risky.
