Not at all. You're drawing a completely invalid conclusion. If he was trying to 'make a living playing for free' He'd set up in a place and time when people where hanging around relaxing, like at courtyard during a lunch hour, and put up nicely printed signs that say "FREE CLASSICAL MUSIC CONCERT!" Or, better yet "FREE JOSHUA BELL CONCERT."
The whole point of the Bell experiment was to NOT do that.
