This is so succinctly put. Jobs is worshipped as a god, yet his own blind spots & ignorance on some matters were quite public and his literal cause of death.

Jobs was excellent in many ways, certainly has some (some) achievements I'm envious of. But that's where it stops.

But would I ever want to be anything like him? Would I want to aspire to his standards? Would I have wanted to work with him? Would I want to adopt his recruitment style. Hell no.

Interesting you mention Woz. I'm going to contradict myself here and say, I've yet to find anything about him that I don't admire. But I'm prepared to be wrong. I got it wrong with Rolf Harris. :-/
