So this article goes from using the analogy "Yeah, well, Jimmy stole cookies from the cookie jar, too!" to using beefy words like petulant and contrite. I'm lead to believe that readers of the Harvard Business Review are linguistic ninjas who are simultaneously somehow unable to analyze the simplest abstract description. Or am I reading too much into this?

His analogy is majorly flawed, unless everybody is stealing cookies from the cookie jar. He seems to be more analysing Job's body language and speech, rather than what was said and what was shown. If the media get another story to follow, they will leave it alone. If not, then they may pursue it for a while longer.
