Yes. Also, you are required to believe eBay was founded to help Pierre Omidyar's fiancée collect Pez dispensers. And Sara Blakely got Spanx off the ground by dragging Bergdorf buyers into dressing rooms and demonstrating control-top girdle underwear. If you can't invent a believable meet-cute creation myth, how can you create a good company? According to Wikipedia "The frequently repeated story that eBay was founded to help Omidyar's fiancée trade Pez candy dispensers was fabricated by a public relations manager in 1997 to interest the media. This was revealed in Adam Cohen's 2002 book,[14] and confirmed by eBay." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Omidyar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Omidyar
