if you don't like that concept of value then let's make a new concept of value that can't be reviewed or compared through the ages -- but until then I am completely comfortable with the idea that a full detail continental map would have been invaluable to the Lewis and Clark expedition.
The trope is that having any store of value makes you wealthy; not the case : wealth is generated through financial value
