This could very well be true. Your idea could be the best thing since sliced bread. But, a reason you could have not gotten the reception you expected, is because you picked the wrong audience.  Waitwaitwaitwait! Is there even a such a thing as a 'wrong audience"? Yep! Let me tell you an old story thats related to this. 

There was a farmer and his son, and basically the farmer asked his son to pick up a random rock, and sell it to the first person he saw., when they asked the price, not to say anything, just hold up two fingers. Surprised by this strange request, he did so, and came across an old lady, who asked the price, and he replied by lifting two fingers. The old lady paid him 2 dollars for the rock to put in her birdhouse. The young man went back home, and his father asked him to repeat the same process, except now he would go to the local fair and sell the rock. So at the fair, he encountered a man who asked him whether the rock was for sale. He said yes and held up two fingers again, when asked the price. The man bought the rock for two thousand dollars, convinced it was a gemstone, and no amount of persuasion from the young man that it wasn't a gemstone, could deter the buyer. But, the young man's father had one last task for his son. Same thing, except take the rock to a museum. They bought the rock for two million dollars, thinking it was a valuable fossilized rock

So what's the lesson here? One man's trash is another man's treasure? Basically.  Also it means, find like minded people, and present it to them. If you present an idea for, lets say, quantum physics, to, a paleontologist for example, the paleontologist obviously wont get it. unless he has quantum physics as a hobby but thats not the point).

 Anyways, find your field. Find people interested in your vision. Find like minded people. No matter how good your idea is, if its not relevant to the people who you're presenting it to, its not going to be successful. Also help
