Warren and Charlie both had several years to tutor and work with Greg. This gave them plenty of time to get to know Greg very well and to learn his strengths/weaknesses.

Yeah, I look at it like Apple.

Steve Jobs was this brilliant inventor, and his hand-picked successor Tim Cook is an operations guy. There's been a lot of teeth-gnashing that Cook is not Jobs, but he's done a brilliant job.

At Berkshire Munger was the architect and Buffett the general contractor. Their hand-picked successor is an operations guy. There will be a lot of teeth-gnashing that Abel is not Buffett, but he'll do a brillant job too.
