Honestly, I think this advice is poisoned candy intended to reduce his competition. There are other kinds of worth than money (one would think a guy with a *webcomic* would know that) and potential is not valueless.
It's ambiguous, but I do think "your ideas have no value" is at least as likely to flatten people as to get them moving.
The thing is, an idea has potential value if it's adequately embodied. Potential value isn't the same thing as actualized value, but it isn't the same thing as nothing at all.
