Something that I learned working on marketing related positions is that you can go a long way with lies like that (taking credit for something you didn't do) specially when you are higher up in the chain. I'd guess that most VP/C levels curriculum might be of things they have little to no participation over. Nobody who know what really happened would botter burning their bridges just to set the record straight, so these guys sail away with these types of stories. I'd say is even worse in ad agencies...
