The author asks whether legacy is better measured by tangible accomplishment or lasting influence?

IMO one large tangible accomplishment can lead to lasting notoriety. If you stack multiple accomplishments together, a lasting influence starts to build.

If Steve Jobs only built the Apple II, then that would be it. But he was able to continuously string together a series of accomplishments (even amongst some spectacular failures).
