It's debatable whether anybody would call either of those two guys an "intellectual", whatever that means these days. Scott McNealy is also a Harvard grad and Stanford MBA. You're drawing distinctions between members of the same elite-private-school and Ivy-educated CEO club based not on scholarly work they may or may not have done, but rather on their perceived success at their jobs and how much you like their personal styles. Because "intellectually", all these guys mentioned above are peas in a pod. You don't even know what the word means. When you say "intellectual", you mean "snob". You mean "elitist", another word that's thrown around a ridiculous amount these days.
