> 'hardcore scientist guy' ignored next to a 'well-marketed guy'

Artists always get more press than the guy who does the amazing engineering or science. It is the way of the world. Certain exceptions exists, where the engineer / scientist has a unique look or style (e.g. Einstein). The public consciousness loves the archetype.

Ritchie was a great man, but if the article needs to degenerate Steve Jobs to prove it, then it is poorly written and tarnishes both their memories. Both learned their lessons well from the generations before them and used the tools of others to create great and amazing things.
