I don't recall saying you can't make money selling to the usual suspects. Clearly you can -- that is why they're the usual suspects. I just don't think it is a particularly wise move when more attractive markets abound.
I don't think that comparing BCC to HNM provides meaningful signal on that question. (Philosophically, by the way, when somebody mentions that X makes more than me my first thought is "Ooh, congrats!" and I don't usually bother with a second thought.)
My comparison was crude. I know there are finer nuances, such as BCC income probably being much more passive than HNM.

The irony of that coming from the maker of bingo software is not lost on me :-P
In any case, I'm sorry if I misunderstood and misrepresented your advice.
EDIT: It occurred to me that my snide remark regarding the irony could also do with a disclaimer. I'm implying that you yourself chose BCC over other attractive markets. However, I know you did that at a time it made sense to you given your circumstances. You have since moved towards more attractive markets (AR). This example clearly highlights the problem with advice. Unless it is seen in the context of the adviser's whole spectrum of experience, it can be really misleading and confusing.
