Rather than "real reality versus distorted", probably a better way to think about it is to realize that everyone distorts reality differently. True, you can't lie to a compiler, but as far as I recall Jobs never suggested such a thing. Plus, consider whether Jobs believed what was saying at any given point. Maybe the rant about browser features was said for effect for those within earshot, who knows. After Jobs came back, he talked about how the Apple community needed to let go of the idea that winning meant MS had to lose. Make your choices as to which one he meant (if any). The racing cars thing sure was strange, though. No disagreement there. Pretty much everyone remarked on it.
