This doesn't make any sense. Who is saying that we only have to look up to one of them? Both men are human beings with flaws and motivations and ideals and goals who accomplished amazing and great and wondrous things and have made mistakes and done things others dont agree with. There is no reason, other than some false dichotomy contrived because they had competing companies, that we can't look up to both men and appreciate the fantastic things they've each done for the world. Just as there is no reason why we can't look at the mistakes they've made and learn from them.



Personally: both are amazing people, but only one appears to be a pompous dick. (Not knowing either, I only have hearsay and biographies to base some of my opinions on. Although, one is still producing data points)
