That's very true but also.... if EXCITE had acquired GOOGLE, the story would have been more about what Excite might have taken out of the market place rather than anything else - simply because an acquisition usually included non-compete legislation and Brin and Page probably would have gone on to do something else.
Which could have meant that quite possibly Page and Brin, in their next business would not have been anywhere near as successful...... but Google would either have been successful or would have died an early death (probably the later).
The way I look at it - net outcome could have been zero for both parties
