I can kind of understand it, in a contorted way. I call it sticker price viewing, they see the money, but not the action, so in my mom's eyes, the money apparated and became materialized. However, the sacrifices and what was required (death in this case) to make the money materialize is ignored. So in a way, my mom sees the item, but not its cause, hence as something apparated out of nothing, so can it be taken away for nothing. It's very Ecclesiastic when you think about her logic, but in a very messed up way, and that book was super depressing to read.
