That he wasn't able to, coz he passed away, but the point stands. Jobs is famous for things like that. I remember clearly when he said there is no way anyone could make a computer that is less than 1000 bucks(when the rumor is ripe with upcoming ipad) and 6 months later releases the ipad for 500.

That statement would have been truly outlandish considering non-Apple laptops' were going for 400-600$ fairly routinely by that point.

His "counterargument" probably would have been something like, "you call those %$$#^&'s computers!?"

That's a horrible example. Jobs didn't consider the iPad a computer but an an appliance.
