Author here. I think that's a fair comment, but, what I would say is: The goal of a meeting with Jeff (or other senior leader at Amazon) is to make a high-quality decision on something that is generally non-obvious and involves complicated issues and significant risks. (If the answer to the decision at hand were obvious, the issues were simple, and the risks were limited, you'd just make the decision as a working team and move on (potentially with a email to your boss and other people who care, to let them know). And, since (virtually) all meetings at Amazon use documents to accomplish the above goals, "not sucking at meetings with Jeff Bezos [and other senior execs]" is almost isomorphic to "writing a good Amazon document." Your title is definitely catchier, though (sincerely!), so thanks for making me connect the above dots.
