I agree with you. There's a point where you can get away with wearing the same thing over and over and sure if you are famous like Steve Jobs was, hell that'll become a thing of its own. Hell once you reach the Steve Jobs level celebrity status, no matter what you do will make news. OMG Steve's diet is like this? He must have figured some dark magic. He dresses like that? There must something to it, let us all try... I think a lot of these visionary founders, etc... are very much closer to the normal every day person, it is the obsession of the public that makes them look more clever than they really are and it just snowballs from there. Once you get past a certain level, you can do anything and there will be a big enough group of people who would make a big deal out of it and praise you for whatever it is that you are doing.
