I know plenty of adults I could give 20k worth of kit too and the images will still be rubbish!!

To say it's all down to the kit is wrong though.
As far as I can see I don't think anyone was suggesting that there was no skill involved - only that time and money is an added advantage to a skilled or gifted individual.

I know from experience that one of the worst things someone can say to an experienced photographer is -
'You must have a good camera to take photographs like that'
