Good can triumph over evil, but as even Jesus said, it needs the "cunning of snakes" to succeed.

His triumph over antisemitism is at most a footnote to his story.

Tim Cook was shaking his fists in triumph after doing nothing but showing some over-produced video that showed some cool camera angles on the watch.
