I can't take credit for that degree of inception, we did not create any fake accounts.
However, I am not against that tactic in the case where someone's company launch story goes onto HN, doesn't get the needed votes, and then they desperately need to get it to the front page. It really should be a last ditch effort though, and there are better ways to ensure getting those first few crucial votes.
