I think it also suffers from: "Steve Jobs did X, so X is amazing". Well, not necessarily.
By definition high-profile entrepreneurs (like Jobs, Gates, Branson, etc) are rare and their multi-zillion-companies are also rare. I miss general lack of analysis of "common success strategies". Call me eccentric, but if I am building a company, I'd like to base my strategy to something that will give me the best chance to do it. And, in case I decide to not use it, know that I am doing so.
