I think part of the reason people revered Steve Jobs so much is that he took the time to talk about the vision and passion of making great things and why we'll love them.
There really is no Reality Distortion Field, just great products worth talking about.
Rick Hickey recently gave a talk entitled "Simple Made Easy" (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3135185) where he contrasts simple and easy. Jobs' quote jumped out at me because I was thinking about this concept the other day while on a run, after watching Hickey's talk.
Simplicity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplicity) is the result of understanding. Einstein knew this. He spent the last 30 years of his life chasing a simple equation, "perhaps no more than one inch long," that would explain all physical phenomena.
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." - Einstein
