The legend of Richard Montañez and inventing Flaming Hot Cheetos itself is not supported by facts, but the underlying story of someone low level who jumped the chain of command and contacted executives at the company seems to hold up. Which means there's at least one organization out there for which it's true.
Basing a pattern on outliers is not a successful strategy. It has to have reasonable success rate for the average person to risk it.
