• Steve Jobs faked full signal strength and swapped devices during the first iPhone demo due to fragile prototypes and bug-riddled software.

• Engineers got drunk during the presentation to calm their nerves.

• Despite the challenges, Jobs successfully completed the 90-minute demonstration without any noticeable issues.

You think that's limited to capitalism?

Edit. Not sure why downvoted. But also, despite the controlled nature of the demo, didn't apple kind of deliver on the marketing to an acceptable degree?

Also, think of the self proclaimed communist leaders projecting how they solve all society's problems, or will do so, without any proof of concept.

No, it's not limited to capitalism of course but it's especially rewarded in capitalism. I did not downvote though, in fact I upvoted because your comment is fine to me and it's a legitimate question.
