 you can adore a skill of somebody's and also dislike them as a whole package 
 His skill to steal other people's ideas and market them as their own and revolutionary?  
 you're saying like building a brand and marketing is such an easy feat

 read my original post again

i can appreciate his skill in marketing and branding, while disagreeing with his fraudulence 
 I'm not sure if appreciate/adore is the right word here. Recognize is probably better. (Just to take to extremes) I recognize Hitler was a master of charisma but obviously he was one of the worst Humans in the History of man kind. (Again, just taking extremes to make my point. Obviously I'm not comparing Hitler to Jobs)

I'm sorry I'm being so pedantic. Probably unnecessary... 🫂 
 he is the greatest sales person on earth. his ability to gather money for projects in unlike anything else. most of them have been shit, but he is genuinely starting to make progress in some of them. 

he is the proof of fake it until you make it lol
