Yep. And at his level in the org-chart one would hope he isn't tasking himself with getting bogged down in the design trenches either.
At his level, which is all project management (risk, goals, timeline), the only "true genius" he should be bringing to the table is in terms of keeping his legions of teams all on target to tape-out on schedule.
At no point should any aspect of the actual architecture or circuitry be handled personally by Keller. If he is doing that then he shouldn't be in the position he is in; rather, if that is the case then he should be in a lower position where he gets to touch the design while reporting in to the head guy who would be "merely" managing the project.
Always the leader takes the credit, and Keller is the leader that steers his team to the direction he places. He is the one that takes the big decisions, he is the one to cheer when they succeed and the one to blame when they fail.
Also, it is easier to talk about a single idividual than the entire team of engineers. So at the end, i dont believe anyone here is thinking that Keller is doing the entire micro Architecture design by him self.
