"Your equipment DOES NOT affect the quality of your image."

Sorry but that's a complete lie.

If that was true why would Ken Rockwell bother reviewing pro bodies and lenses? And why would Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus and others bother making expensive pro lenses?

Ken Rockwell should try making a living out of taking photos instead of spending his days taking photos of his kid and posting crap like this on the internet.

Beards not bombs.

Many things influence a photograph to make it "good" or "bad".
Some of those things are caused by your camera and other equipment. Some are not.

Having all the megapickels in the world, or an expensive lens are not going to make your photos "good" if you're composing them like a tourist on holiday taking snapshots.

Perhaps Ken has simply chosen his words poorly. He refers to the "quality" of images, but people take "quality" as an objective measure e.g film/sensor resolution, lens resolution, focus, bokeh, etc. Of course those things have a bearing on image quality.

Now, as to producing "good" or "interesting" photos - that is much more subjective. And can certainly be achieved with non-pro equipment. For an extreme example, look at some of the photos taken with "toy" cameras.

Agree
