If it were true, new companies would emerge that paid good employees more -- closer to their fair value. These companies are emerging, though, right? 37Signals? I'm sure there are other small well-paid companies, if only from the evidence of a job ad I once saw. Now, "Compensation: Competitive" and "Compensation: Market" have been batted around for years, even around here, but this ad was for a programmer at a financial technology company and in the space for "Compensation" they put "Extremely high." Then again, those places are probably actually using the Big-O concepts they ask about in interviews. You never see anything like that in Internet companies.
