[Dan Evans]

Isn't there a difference between cost and value? Value has nothing to do with cost. Value is subjective. Something that is valuable to one person is worthless to another. But cost is related to labor whether it creates value or not.

Quite simple -

An unneeded/undesired commodity/service has little real value no matter how expensive money/laborwise it is to develop/manufacture/generate.
