I work in a big company with layers and layers of management. Having someone come in and interviewing the bigwigs would hardly interfere with our ability to "create new products". That innovation happens in the trenches and slowly makes it way up the food chain.
I make this comment completely outside of the discussion on whether or not Apple was unfairly judged. It's just a odd statement, IMO, and that kind of exaggeration tends to make me more cynical about anything else Apple says. I hope it was a misquote by the reporter, rather than something Apple is actually trying to claim to be true.

I think that was triggered by Bronwich's insistence at interviewing Jonathan Ive, who has nothing to do with ebooks, but has everything to do with product design at Apple. He's Apple's lead designer and has his hands in pretty much every major physical product that Apple does. He is also apparently a very private person and like many "talents" doesn't play well with the suits.
