I didn't miss the point at all. In fact I agree with the point.
I just think it was a poor example of scripture for the analogy being given.
A better one would be the scriptures addressing those who didn't work, but were able to in some of Paul's teachings.
Let's face it. Unless you are able to heal the lame and enable them to work, it doesn't make much sense to quote these scriptures as reason not to assist them.
