@DeRSSS - I believe that Marketeers are simply expert manipulators. They know what to say how to say and when to say it, in order to persuade the thoughts of others. For this engineers desperately need the marketeers. But it might also be understood that engineers are manipulators too. They manipulate things in order to persuade an idea to come to life.
In the end marketeers and inventors are both experts and manipulators. I think their survival are dependent on each other's expertise.
As for Steve Jobs, he simply did a good job and had good people underneath him to support him.
