I like to joke too, but not really, if you're serious - Jobs always hated things until he could claim that Apple reinvented them. Even Gruber was making fun of it yesterday. http://daringfireball.net/linked/2015/09/08/gizmodo-netflix

In any case what Jobs meant was that the companies that were putting out devices that required a stylus to operate correctly were doing it wrong, and that's been proven pretty extensively by the kind of touch interaction that the iPhone popularized.

Specifically: the new iPad Pro works just fine with touch, but you also have an option of an Apple-sourced stylus for more intricate work.
