That's more accurately described as a labor theory of cost.  Value is subjective.  Labor has nothing to do with it.

Bingo.  Labor theory of value is only useful as a lower bound on cost.  And even then, only when "labor" is defined as "thermodynamic work".

Otherwise it is the most totally and completely worthless theory of anything ever to gain widespread acceptance.
