Agree.

There were so many fortuitous circumstances that seemed to align, making the Beatles the Beatles. (Lennon asking Paul to join the band, a simple record shop owner managing the band, the loss of Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe, George Martin being thrown a bone by EMI with this unpolished band....)
