I'd say that's generally true, but they tend to sell full knife kits from the big manufacturers. There's nothing wrong with that, but if it's a good deal on a large selection of not quite the knives you want . . . maybe it's not a great deal any more.
I wouldn't tout anything exotic for somebody who doesn't already want it, and want the upkeep. I would tout finding a single chef knife of a profile, weight, and grip that feels good to the user -- needn't be a quest for somebody who doesn't want a quest. And a way to keep it sharp. And after that, sooner or later, meeting a perceived need, whether it's a paring knife, a bread knife (some cheap ones are just grand, btw), or a deba for that matter.
