The market's notion of "value" is whacked. Feeding a starving poor person is not "valuable." Finding an excuse to decline insurance coverage to someone with cancer is extremely "valuable."

When the market says that one person is 1000x more productive than another, I'd take that with a 1000 kilo grain of salt unless I know the particular market sector to be sane by some other measure.
