To even arrive at the idea that "market prices are good enough to
measure value", it is necessary to calculate values independently.

Then, if it turns out (as it does) that the two are pretty close,
one can indeed use prices as a reasonable approximation to values
for empirical purposes.

Or didn't I understand your question?
