Musk and Jobs having strong visions and making them happen so that we can all benefit is denigrated as "reality distortion field"?

Renting COTS tunneling machine, digging a plain old and quite unimpressive 1-mile-long tunnel, and calling it something fantastic and extraordinary is a good example of said reality distortion field.

Let's put it in perspective: London is covered by a network of small tunnels dedicated to cart mail around by autonomous vehicles. The tunnels were opened almost a century ago.

That was a term Jobs’s staff used about him.
