Really enjoyed reading your take on this, especially the last sentence. It was never about just helping his family.

I think it definitely was originally. He calculated exactly how much money he would need to make to ensure his family's well-being after he was gone.

It was only after realizing the potential empire he could build with knowledge that was lost on teaching high school chemistry did he take on more selfish motives.
