>you never encounter anyone who says "yeah, I was the guy who made the whole thing fail"

Because that was usually a business decision and not a technical one.

Rereading the comment I made which you're responding to, I can only assume you do not consider those making business decisions to be... people? That seems a bit harsh.

		nah, it's just that many projects are canceled or fail because of poor business decisions despite being perfectly usable platforms. Those business decisions are rarely made by one guy, and those sorts also aren't the types that give interviews in tech magazines and podcasts discussing their failures.
