Excellent analysis. I wouldn't have a problem finding freelance work, but as you noticed, that's not what I want. Naturally, I am freelancing to keep the lights on, but I've been down that road and it's tiresome. The author of the book I quote is trying to elucidate the point that you should hire people who are better than you. Don't be afraid that they might leave. He drives that point home with the rule that anyone good will leave, so go ahead and hire 'em anyway.
