Yes, your statement is correct. The phrase, "everything you can buy for gold" inaccurately describes set construction. I wrote it that way because the original question was concerned only with not spending gems. At the time, I decided that a protracted discussion of how to construct a set was both unnecessary and unwanted. When a different person added a separate but related question to the thread 1.5 YEARS later, I expanded on my original answer, then providing the explanation which you referenced, repeated, and criticized me for omitting initially.

Also, note that changes to set construction rules occurred nine months after the original question and the original answer. I prostrate myself before you and beg forgiveness for my abysmal failure to anticipate the change so I could give an answer that would hold inviolate for all time. I will endeavour to ensure that all future answers I give on this site are in accordance with your exacting specifications.
