The Steve Jobs defence has some validity to it. However, everyone isn't Steve Jobs..
Additionally, having a track record of creating things that people wanted helps immensely in justifiably invoking the Jobs clause.
But most people aren't Steve Jobs. They aren't on their second, or third, or fifth great product.
Even then, Steve Jobs had the deep enough pockets to have some spectacular failures (Cube mac, etc) on the way to getting it right.
Do startups have the deep pockets to spectacularly fail, or believe in their own legends a little too much?
I'm not so sure, but look forward to reading the thoughts here.
