I entirely agree that's a ridiculous extrapolation from my question. (Though I suspect you mean 'without' rather than 'with'.)
You then proceed to bring yourself along to the point I was making -- it's a matter of degree, and self-valuation (as the parent alludes to later) is the primary factor in determining what can and can't be done, or over what time frame, with someone's output.
Not that self-valuation isn't important - but it probably shouldn't be entirely self, or entirely others', role to determine the value of someone's output / contribution to society.
