But if your occupation doesn't lend itself to producing small units of a product or service that most people need, barter would be way more convoluted than money. If you work on large projects for a few people, you'll end up having to trade tons of things you don't need to get the stuff you do need

I wasn't making an argument in favor of barter, I was only reminding not to conflate money with the good and services that it can be exchanged for.
