In extremely few cases are the shareholders actually the owners or the
employers. Tim Cook's employers are almost certainly the Board, who
themselves are a bunch of fools who should interfere as little as
possible ... advise and suggest, yes, interfere, no, unless it's
extremely obvious Cook and the other managers are about to bankrupt the
company. You have to remember that it was the Board who threw out Steve
Jobs in the first place and the idiot they kept almost did ruin the
company.
