a) "clearly being an asshole makes me steve jobs right"
I never claimed any causative chain of that sort. I said that thinner continued to sold in droves, not that making something thin necessarily will make it sold.
b) "or at least it cant hurt! right?"
That's closer to what I said, which is the continuously thinner products never hurt Apple's sales.
And to answer your question, yes, obviously it can't hurt in someone becoming like Steve Jobs -- since it didn't hurt Steve Jobs himself. In fact, if anything, it could have been necessary to Jobs success, and goes with his obsession and attention to detail and crazy push to his employees.
Not really. It's somewhat established that there are more psychopaths as CEOs than in the general population, suggesting it's a good trait to help one "make it".
