This claim is delusional. The stories about Jobs' vision, product/engineering judgement, and ability to get others to share it are very convincing. They stretch for decades. He basically worked his entire career to put creative computing tools into people's hands (Apple II, Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad). He did not just happen to get lucky to "be involved with people with genius and vision."
The iDevices are not really creative computing tools. They're mostly about consumption and, in the case of iPhones, communication.
Really expressing creativity in computing requires a richer interface, at least a keyboard and a mouse.
