You are correct - I did not intend to put myself out as independent, merely that consulting comes in different flavors, and there are hazards - an independent consultant has a lot of volatility, but working for a consulting firm (as I do) has some of the same hazards as corporate work.
I was responding to the note about 'every hour being billable' as if that was some kind mechanism for ensuring good project scope and specifications, good client responsiveness and/or good project management - my contention is, being billable is not necessarily a guarantee your time will be treated any better. I should have spelled that out.
