> There's no mention of Cook saying no to bad ideas.

Ive said:

"Steve established a set of values...with a small team of people [and] Tim was very much part of that team – for that last 15 or 20 years."

And you think in being a part of that team and as CEO he doesn't say "no"?

Sorry, time for you to provide those citations of how Tim Cook green-lights everything.

> Jobs didn't want him gone and didn't seem to find him difficult to work with.

They were friends for nearly two decades. It's not easy to fire friends, and by all accounts they got along. Forstall with the rest of the executive team, not so much.
