No. It's another great example both of supply and demand, and how value is an evolving idea that persists beyond its origin and takes on other forms as it travels and time passes.

The story is cool and interesting, but the meaning is invented. 

When the armorer in Bendwyn makes more shortswords than he sells and builds up a stock, there is no right answer to whether the price goes up or down or not - it depends on what happens, who sees it and what they happen to think about it, which is largely random and up to the GM (or players if their PCs get involved). It's not something that can be proven "rightly".
