Not sure why you are being down-voted, since your points further the discussion.

Anyway, consider Buckminster Fuller as a counterexample to some of your points. He definitely had the spirit of a producer. Here is a quote from http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/15/automobiles/collectibles/1... :

    Fuller was born in Massachusetts in 1895 and died
    in 1983. He was admitted to Harvard twice, and twice
    expelled. He went from job to job until he was broke.
    After illness killed his young daughter, he had a
    revelation. He determined to make his life “an
    experiment to find what a single individual can
    contribute to changing the world and benefiting all
    humanity.”
