It actually would not be. We got to witness Apple with Jobs, without and with-again... the track record unambiguously demonstrates how impactful a single visionary, highly motivated leader can be within an organization.

We're now seeing Apple without Jobs yet again, and while the stock price has coasted upwards under Cook, Apple has not been the "bold" "think different" Apple ever since. Present-day Apple largely relies on it's existing products and small iterations. Apple, under Cook, has produced nothing market-changing or revolutionary, like they consistently delivered under Jobs.
