That is an astounding statement. You think implementing an idea is more important than thinking it up.

Ponder that one for a while and see if you can figure out why that is DEAD wrong!

Democracy and the rule of law existed before political science became a formal discipline.

I suppose you mean political philosophers? Even then I'd say implementing the ideas was more significant than coming up with them, and also non-philosophers come up with ideas all of the time, but at least that claim wouldn't be silly.
