Do hero cards count toward the 50-card deck minimum?

The rulebook's setup keeps heroes out of the player deck, and several posters read it the same way.

No. Heroes start in play in front of you and are kept apart from the player deck; the setup steps even say not to shuffle hero cards into player decks. The 50 cards are all non-hero cards.
