perhaps it happened this way and jobs was overly caustic, but zooming out from that emotionality, the designated outcome was not necessarily a bad one. it's in fact the basis of creative destruction. when a team fails (and for setbacks in general), disbanding and allowing new teams to form can be net positive.

You walk down the street and someone you know in passing tells you: "Hey, you gain a lot of weight. You look fat and ugly. Nobody will love you so loose weight." don't get offended they are just trying to help you. Humans are emotional creatures, treating them as if they are robots is reserved for psychopaths. Besides if you are the boss and team fails to deliver, guess who is to blame first. Its the fucking boss who failed to access the task and oversee the progress.
