Unfortunately, without the benefit of hearing the entire presentation and just viewing these "conversation starter" key points could lead one to that conclusion.
The points you make in your comment about effective portfolio management are key and actually, include many, many more considerations.
As with any large conference setting, I am speaking to people of all skill levels/maturity levels in project management, portfolio management and innovation management. Not "dumbed down," but made appropriate to the audience for which it is intended.
Thanks for pointing out one of the many key considerations in successful innovation portfolio management for everyone and, more importantly, thanks for participating and sharing your thoughts!

The dreamer who will be too "in love" with his/her own idea to be objective cannot take on this role and a project manager who is not versed in understanding risk, finance, strategy, etc is also not best equipped to select the right projects.
I'd suggest then that a 3rd 'entity' needs to be involved and that is someone with the requisite skills and dispassionate outlook to determine which of the numerous ideas being presented are in fact the appropriate ones to do.
