I'm not sure I agree. (obviously) I know a lot of people idolizes Steve
Jobs, there will be plenty of people praising him and declaring the
various accolades. Counter point IS important lest we wash away the truth
in a rush to praise.

I don't think anything I wrote can not be asserted if we are being honest
with ourselves.
