Arete Seven = Bungie's real name?

I was bored tonight so I looked to see if Harold Ryan's number was listed anywhere online. I found it (although google told me the number was just Bungie's switchboard, so don't go pranking it if you find it), and the site listed his job as the owner of a company called "Arete Seven." A quick google revealed [url=http://csbgamedev.wordpress.com/2008/07/19/why-a-game-design-and-development-program-heres-one-more-reason/]this[/url] page, which says that a Kirkland based company named Arete Seven is doing business as "Bungie." (Use CTRL-F to bring up the "find" window and type "Bungie"). I looked up the word Arete and found that it is Greek for "Noble." So Bungie is the Noble Seven Company?
