The idea that a ~350 Billion dollar company runs on the hunches of a single man might sound interesting, but it just can not be true. And again, the idea that Steve Jobs can not understand what constitutes a good TV, just because he is not a TV junkie doesn't sound convincing to me. If it is a 100 Billion dollar market and if it is something a majority use even for a few hours a day and if improving that can make their daily life even 3% better, they are going to go for it.

Steve Jobs is not the average CEO. He's famous for micromanaging and very directly being responsible for new products. It doesn't sound too far fetched to me.
Yes, but I dont think it would be too hard for him to understand what a good TV should be, even if he is not a TV junkie himself.
