Seeing that many, many top, full time, talented artists have technicians that execute, I don't think it's the defining quality of a top artist.

They are still highly talented but not in the realms of top talented artists. |
The ability to realize an idea is way more important than "having ideas".
And I say that "most ideas are just half-formed thoughts" because they are. Most people think an idea like "the Uber of X" is worthwhile. It's not. It's hardly a thought, much less an actual idea.
Everything else you said was basically "nuh-uh, I feel differently and assert that my opinionated feelings are facts". And examples won't matter to you because you'll "no true Scotsman" your way through that saying they are "real" artists or "top talented" artists. As if your opinion on these matters were a subjective criteria.
