Incorrect.

71: 4 times (1997, 2001, 2002, 2004, lost to 190, 177, 987 in finals in 2007) Note: the first time, there was a totally different system in place.
111: 2 times (2003, 2009)
67: 2 times (2005, 2009)
217: 2 times (2006, 2008, lost to 67, 330, 503 in SFs in 2005)

177 has been on 4 times in a row, but only won once.
233 has yet to win the whole thing.

Fill Einstein up? I doubt it. There are 12 slots open. Typically, at least one team on the champion alliance is one that nobody expected going into the event. Let alone the other 9 teams and the backups who may be expected or not.
