> How can we distinguish this statement from Jobs-worshiping woo?
Results. He made Apple a huge success then come back and did it again. He took Pixar to wild successes whilst masterfully cutting deals with Disney. Even NeXT for all it's faults had some impressive technology back in the day.
He was indeed an A++ player not just for what he did but for what he represented. Himself and Bill Gates are the parents of the modern computing industry.
And I 100% that people who emulate him are just being idiots. His personality makes no sense without his unique history to back it up.

Yes, but I could also posit that Jobs was the only visionary type who not only had a POV that let him see under the surface of mainstream thinking but also had the good fortune of founding Apple, which enabled him to found his later enterprises. (If nothing else, than through the reputation it gained him.)
