From the grandparent comment, "Steve, like any other human, is a shade of grey."
The category being human.

In NO way anyone is making a comparison of Steve Jobs to a dictator. The original post was claiming:
> It's a habit of the internet diaspora to label a person either good or bad
> Steve, like any other human, is a shade of grey.
i.e. the completely correct but also completely useless claim that there is no person who is absolutely evil or absolutely good . What the analogy is trying to do here is to say "OK, so you don't think Hitler is absolutely evil?", not "OK, so you don't think Steve Jobs is Hitler?".
