I don't think that's a fair appraisal. He's a smart guy, he tried a bold, risky strategy at JCP that he _thought_ would work well, and it didn't. Sometimes when you take bold risks, you win. Sometimes you lose. I actually don't think one iota less of the guy after this experience - I think he tried and failed and that's fine. The guy should be commended for his effort, despite it's lack of success.
