  And I am willing to bet you that he can sell at least one

Okay, even if he can sell one, so what? That "one" is pretty arbitrary.

I can bet you if Arrington put up a preorder page of a product called SUPER-CRAP, he could sell more than one. Again, so what?

The end goal is not to sell one. It's to build a successful business. And that requires significant(even if unequal) contribution from both prod dev and marketing.

People like to exaggerate that a good marketer can poop in a box and sell it, but at some point it becomes scamming. And I guarantee you that the likelihood of getting sued and losing even more money goes up astronomically.
