Granted, some jobs are more "important" to the movie's out come than others. If a
manufacturing plant went bankrupt I would be passing blame through everybody in upper
management before blaming a single assembly line worker. Though I do realize the
point your making, that Spielberg may have not even seen the finished product until
opening night, and since he did contribute none the less, there's his name in lights
right up there on the marquee too.
