This is total nonsense. Every reader will understand that Jobs was never photographed like that while saying "stop" to anyone crossing his red lines. Even if the photo exists, it would have been out of context.

The only question here is if using that image is tasteful or not.

Also, suggesting that Jobs did not have these red lines is not making the situation any better.
