At a fundamental level, our society works by giving the corporate spokesperson credit for everything thought up or done in their organization. Really, credit for a whole lotta other claims too. CEOs and spokespeople are more brand avatars with megaphones, than actual people dealing in fact. Unfortunately this setup confuses hero worshippers.

I think it’s partly because they are psychopaths (once had a manager that got promoted on my hard work while holding me down) and partly deserving of a little credit for not killing every alternate idea that ran contrary to their own.

Yeah, I don’t like either…
