Agreed. Also just so you know, invaluable is one of those weird words that is intensified with in-, not negated. It means even more valuable, not worthless

> It means even more valuable, not worthless

The "in-" actually is negation; the word means something like "NOT susceptible to valuation", i.e. beyond value.

Hah, you're right - sorry for the confusion and thanks for the note, I'm not a native English speaker :)
