I'm the best musician on earth but I can't play any instruments but I can imagine a really amazing song, you'll just never hear it because it would take 1000s of hours of me practicing to actually learn to play so that I could prove it. So you'll just have to make do with my words and believe me when I say I'm the best musician alive.

Here's an article I wrote describing the song but without actually writing any of the notes because I can't read or write music either.

But I've listened to a lot of music and my tunes are better than those.

I went to school for music description so I know what I'm talking about.

You can go into studio with a producer and turn your ideas into a beat and then to a song. The same thing does not applies to engineering.

This is like comparing apple with an orange.

well, you could hire a team of developers and neuroscientists to build a prototype of the idea and concept and do physical research, whether you yourself have the chops to do it yourself is irrelevant at that point.
You still can't see the difference, can you?
