There was an article on here a little back about how stories like "Netflix founder got a fee for returning a movie late and got the idea to start netflix" are entirely misleading. Everyone has problems, and everyone has ideas how to fix them, especially in the consumer products space. Everything outside of the idea itself, like marketing, execution, finance, and customer support are all things that take practice, or reps as you say, to gain experience which hopefully leads to instinct. I think we like these tales because they exaggerate the importance of an idea.
