You've never had a Flash problem? Ever?

Have you actually used it?

I find it absolutely inconceivable that Flash has either not failed to load correctly or flat out crashed on anyone who regularly uses it.

So, for the record, are you saying this isn't the case for you?
I am absolutely, positively saying that is the case.

Edited to add: I wonder if it would be enlightening to make a chart with different browsers and different operating systems to find out where these problems are concentrated. Remember - I'm not even saying Flash is a good technology. I never use it as a programmer, but my experience as a pretty avid consumer just doesn't mesh with what Mr Jobs is saying. Maybe it is like the iPhone's reception problems: Apple has an aura of infallibility so it must be AT&T's problem - even if that Blackberry user also on AT&T right next to you has no problems at all. Similarly if Flash crashes Safari, it must be Flash. Or it could be that the Flash client for mac is just really crappy. Who knows.
