Yeah, I think we're on the same page on this one.

"failed to skate where the puck was headed" assumes that we know where the puck is going to be. We don't.

Everyone is skating towards that same spot while Apple is over by the blue line practicing their swizzles. They sure look like they're doomed. But large groups of people have skated to the "wrong spot" thousands of times. That's the entire point that Gretzky was making with his quote. He's not big enough, strong enough, fast enough to get in that scrum. They're all fighting it out and the puck slides away. To him. All alone.

Maybe that is Apple, maybe it's not. I mean, they're still learning to skate while everyone else is playing hockey.
