A version you built from first principles, even at 6 out of 10, beats copying the market's 7, because you have the mastery to iterate past it.

Like, you can make a 7 out of 10 solution to everything by copying the 7 out of 10 that's already out there in the market. But if you make from tabula rasa axioms your own version of it, you have mastery over, even if this is a 6 out of 10, you can iterate on this. You can take this past the 7 afterwards.
