So if someone offered you a ton of money to contract out your current or next works, when you control what ends up in your contract and what rights are going to be shared, you're still independent because you're controlling what you agree to.

It's rather stretching the definition to call yourself an independent author if you've signed a contract with a publisher, don't you think? The very definition of an independent author is someone who DOESN'T publish via a publisher, surely?
All authors "control what they agree to" in a publishing contract.
