> Jobs didn't believe in cancer treatment

His own health choices are a private matter as far as I'm concerned. He held off too long on modern medicine and paid the price for it. Bringing it up here is irrelevant and distracting.

It's not distracting, it's an important detail underlining the ridiculousness of this decision.

Maybe it's just me, but I think innovation awards are for people with scientific mindsets. Jobs obviously didn't have one.

Are you suggesting Apple was not innovative, or that he did not have a role in Apple's innovation?

We can pretend all day that the Apple II, the Mac, iMac, macbook, iPod, iPhone, and iPad would have been exactly the same without Jobs. But in the reality we currently inhabit, he was the person overseeing them all.
