JimBJoe,
I don't think much of anything in the world is black and white and the collector/investor distinction is certainly in a grey area. It sounds like you want people to go to confession if they have ever thought about the value or potential future value of their collection. I hope I die with my collection, or pass it on to a son or somebody else who would appreciate it, but I am not blind to the idea that I may one day need to sell it (against my wishes) and that it is wise to keep that in mind too.
