What if it turns out that one of its complex values can be much more effectively realized and optimized than its other values, i.e. has the best cost-value ratio? That value might turn out to outweigh all other values.

Can you think of an example? I plugged in some values for myself:

• A preference for tea and cream scones;
• The preferences associated with making babies;

...but they didn't seem to turn out too well in terms of illustrating your idea.
