Nobody ever used "I built that" in that silly ex nihilo sense. It's sophistry to claim otherwise. They used "built" in the sense of being a primary, essential contributor.
"Steve Jobs built (and then re-built) Apple" is a completely accurate thing to say. Do you really want to claim it's false?
- rayiner 14y ago> They used "built" in the sense of being a primary, essential contributor. Do they really? What I hear is them complaining that every cent they are taxed is the government taking "their money". If they were willing to acknowledge that they are the primary, not sole, contributor, wouldn't they acknowledge that some part of their income is not an imposition by the government, but rather a collection of something the government is entitled to in the first place by virtue of its contribution?
