I think that's overexaggerating his point. If you can't work, you're probably also unable to do a lot of other things you enjoy in life. Like, as a developer, if I develop a condition that makes me unable to hold down any kind of job in the field, it probably also prevents me from drawing, gaming and reading to the extent that I enjoy doing right now. As such, I'd probably be more than willing to sign up for a study that might help me be able to get closer to the way I am now, even if I could afford to live without it.
