I think most rational people would have said something like: "Steve, I agree that is an important detail but it does not warrant a phone call to me on Sunday morning. Send me an email. We'll speak tomorrow."
The question is, why didn't people say things like that to Steve Jobs?
Or do only the ones that prostrated themselves to him ever speak up? (or get the attention when they do?)
I want some stories of people telling Jobs to piss off.
