Trust me folks, I saw this happen time and again, for years. Jeff Bezos has all these incredibly intelligent, experienced domain experts surrounding him at huge meetings, and on a daily basis he thinks of shit that they never saw coming. It’s a guaranteed facepalm fest.

I can’t emphasize just how true this is. Jeff will always think of something that makes your entire argument look idiotic or lacking. Amazingly, many of the VPs around him have developed similar talents as well.
Steve’s bit about the VPs (they’re called the S-team) waiting to see if there is blood in the water is entirely correct.
