That's not what I meant. I said that money can help someone along to produce higher quality stuff, be it the motivation to do better to actually get the money or just the desire to produce better things, it's still the money that is the driving factor.

What makes it hard to understand you is that you nevertheless conclude that money is the driving factor. I would agree that one should not confuse the path to greatness with the cost of greatness, but your conclusion does not follow from your premises.
