Not put to me but .. hahahahahah .. as if that would stop me.
I think it is like any other whopper. What was ordinary enough at the time just becomes more grand with every telling. By the time the feeding of the multitude gets committed to paper what might have started as five people noticing how content they'd been with so little food while passing an interesting afternoon with a charismatic guy becomes a miracle of magical proportions. These should be phased out or relegated to children's literature in the same vein as Santa.
