My characterization of Winter's purpose in engaging in that exercise was based on this sentence:

I may or may not have gone into the yard, made a fire, and slowly fed $100 into the flames while concentrating on how money is useless if you don't use it.

Yes, but the purpose of the exercise is not necessarily equivalent to what you're concentrating on during the exercise.
