You are confusing explanation with justification.
I think steve jobs was dishonest in presenting that uncorrected quote from the Samsung executive. It lessens him in my eyes and it has been called out already.
Does that mean we can't attempt to understand his motivation without being called names? Must every statement about the subject begin with 'Steve Jobs is a liar'?
It's worth pointing out that nothing else he said even comes close to being a lie.
- bane 16y ago"Does that mean we can't attempt to understand his motivation without being called names?" I think that's implicit and not really necessary to discuss, "sell more stuff". However, if Jobs came out tomorrow and said, "look folks, I've been kinda sick and out of the loop recently, somebody else put those slides together and I didn't realize they weren't accurate, sorry 'bout that" that'd be a reasonable explanation.
