Follow the thinking.

Publisher-hosted prepared speech text inspected.

Prepared text is not a certified verbatim recording. Personal recollections and inspirational advice are not independently established universal facts.

Institution-hosted excerpt transcript inspected; interviewer, date and transcript editor identified.

Explicitly excerpted and edited, not a full transcript. Preserve speaker roles and 1995 context; historical predictions are not present-day facts.

Official web edition and Archive publication announcement inspected.

Collection publication date differs from each item's event date. Separate Jobs's statements, correspondents' statements and editor commentary. Copyright and third-party credits are present; reading access is not provider-use approval.

Official exhibit page inspected; main talk date and GrassRoots Television credit checked. Recording not played or transcribed in this pass.

Editorial narrative is not the speech transcript. Verify every selected quotation against the recording and add timestamps before ingestion. Avoid counting overlap with the Archive book as independent corroboration.

Official publisher's eBook record inspected; ISBN 9781451648553. Full book not read or obtained.

Publisher describes interviews with Jobs and many others; that is a provenance claim, not verification of every anecdote. Treat the author's interpretation separately from primary evidence.

Publisher announcement inspected; Jobs quotation distinguished from corporate copy.

Launch marketing is evidence of positioning, not independent proof of superiority.

Publisher announcement inspected; event date and attributed statement checked.

Corporate claims describe the launch, not a universal product-development method or present-day specifications.

Official exhibit inspected; recording event dated 1996-11-22, exhibit published 2025-11-18. Audio not audited.

A recording and edited book extract from the same interview are not independent corroboration. No timestamps or verbatim transcript claimed.
