Another example: Steve Jobs was an amazing man who achieved far beyond most mortals, but he was also a deeply flawed man.

He is basically Cartman in real life, but worse. He is all what is wrong with capitalism. He is responsible for directly and indirectly making a lot of people's life a hell. That he had a minor hand (he likes to take responsibility for good things that other people have done, and deny responsibility for bad things he has done) in making some ridiculously overpriced gadgets[1] is no reason to admire him.
Someone who should be admired a lot more by the general public, in my opinion, is Steve Wozniak. He actively tries to make the world a better place, he loves teaching, uses his money to make the world a better place, and has respect for people. Also, he's the real Steve that made Apple great.

Another way to look at it is that everyone is "flawed" in some way, or in quite a few ways, but some also manage to achieve far beyond the average.
