The tactician knows what to do when there is something to do; whereas the strategian knows what to do when there is nothing to do. - Gerald Abrahams
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.

"The tactician must know what to do whenever something needs doing; the strategist must know what to do when nothing needs doing. - Savielly Tartakover",
