That kind of goes without saying, doesn't it? The buck has to stop somewhere. If Jobs did not drive the company that way, you could have 100k people under him

That kind of goes without saying, doesn't it? The buck has to stop somewhere. If Jobs did not drive the company that way, you could have 100k people under him doing that stuff and it wouldn't be readily apparent. I mean, look at the slow decline of the company after he left the first time, as they chased more and more options for users. He's also notorious (any of his bios will show this) at direct and obsessive involvement in product and even store design.
