Respect is honoring his accomplishments, inflating them is disrespectful.

  It is no inflation to say this man is the greatest inventor/innovator I have seen in my life time. Saying someone is great does not take greatness away from anyone else. Many people can be great, Steve was great.

    >It is no inflation to say this man is the greatest inventor/innovator I have seen in my life time. ... Many people can be great, Steve was great. Steve seems more of an amazing businessman and salesman, with exceptional taste, than inventor/innovator. Apple's considerable achievements come largely from taking the inventions of others and making them attractive to the marketplace.

      Taking inventions from others and making them attractive to the marketplace is innovation. :) Henry Ford did not invent the car but he was the best innovator if it. However, it is no exaggeration to say Apple reinvented many products time and time again.

        Ah, you are correct about "innovation". Still, it seems that Apple gets a lot of credit they shouldn't... people, for example, think Apple invented smartphones when, in fact, Palm deserves credit.

    Steve was a leader and his skill was recognizing the good inventions and innovations between the chaff.
