Steve Jobs got fired from Apple, but was rehired 11 years later.

That might be selection bias, in those 11 years Jobs built NeXT.

A lot of Apple's engineering and product line back then owe their provenance and lineage to NeXT.

Selection bias for what? It was an anecdote, there's no attempt to infer data about a larger population.
