Unfortunately, you've just missed the hundred other cases where Jobs was correct and persevered. People will always be wrong, this doesn't show anything about good decision making or bad decision making because you can find examples of both in everyone. It does show a little bit of humility on Jobs part though, which I think was the point. Arguing about the merits or demerits of the decision itself is irrelevant IMHO.
I wasn't trying to slag Jobs. I was responding to someone saying that this specific instance was an example of "true leadership". I disagreed. The hundreds of other instances where Jobs did indeed make the right decision are irrelevant as to whether this particular incident was one.
