I don't think Steve Jobs was saying that Apple has 100% A players. I think he was advocating having the better employees have an increased role in the hiring process. I think he understood that A players are the top twenty percent or so (because that's what "A player" means), and for a company with hundreds of engineers to have them all be in the top twenty percent is extremely unlikely.
