I remember reading Steve Jobs used a "different" technique to figure out if someone was good.

He would go around to people and say "I heard Joe sucks". If the people strongly defended Joe, he was probably pretty good. If nobody stuck up for him, Joe might indeed suck.

Probably everyone would be silent as well if someone said "Steve Jobs sucks". This anecdote is meaningless TBH.
