You think saying "a really amazing case of a business [that executed] better than everyone else" is dismissive and diminishing?

  "Just" implies it wasn't a big deal.

    Warren Buffett just focuses on business all day. Tom Brady just thinks about football all day. The word 'just' is used in many cases to show someone did one thing and not other things. Doing lots of things is often just stupid.

      "just" has an implication, "only" or "solely" would be more neutral words.

        Nope, people say "just" all the time for this case. You might think they should use "only" or "solely", but they say "just" frequently. Sometimes "just" does have an implication. If you assume the writer isn't being a dick, it's easy to see what they meant.
