 No, that takes work sure. His skill in marketing doesn't make his fraudulence any less abhorrent.

 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)

Also, your Nip5 seems to be unreachable FYI. 

I'm sorry I'm being so pedantic. Probably unnecessary... 🫂
