Ahh good this isn't going to be one of those pieces were someone who scanned through the foreword to a book about Steve and once had the privilege of walking past the parking spot where Steve parked briefly one day wax on about what he would or wouldn't do, think or say.

Oh well.

There is a slight difference. It’s a case were we can’t necessarily see how to do something well, but we can see when someone else has done the wrong thing.
Think about design. A lot more people can look at something and say “this is a crappy design” but at the same time if you hand them the task they won’t know exactly how to design it better.
