I wonder how differently this story would have played out if it was Steve Jobs, Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos? My inclination is that there would be a resounding ya, but he's doing a great job so why does it matter?

So...does it matter any way?

I think the difference here is that Scott Thompson was not a founder/co-founder but hired to the CEO position based on certain credentials.

Steve Jobs had an honorary PhD in Reality Distortion from Miskatonic University, so he could put anything he wanted to on his resume.
