Let me then rephrase my hypothesis (of course technically it can't be a theory): any sufficiently novel initial idea, whether good or bad in our perception at first glance, can be brought to success by amending and developing it.
I am serious about one thing: there is no such thing as bad idea. Any of the Google's discontinued products weren't a failure. It's Google's product management who failed, not the products.
Upthread you said:

You seem to have just rejected that theory.
