I'm at a loss for specific examples of Jobs not understanding a piece of hardware or software technology.

He made a lot of bets on the future and what he felt people would want to buy and use. Many worked out and some didn't.

But what are the examples of him allegedly not understanding specific bits of hardware or software technology?

For me, though I certainly didn't agree with all he did, it seemed he had a keen functional understanding of the underlying hardware and software. He couldn't sit down and write some code (which is fine) but he understood the pros and cons and was able to understand and shape where it was headed.
