You *estimate* that the (individual) value of your hat is worth 5 "units"
(of what?). You can not *know* what the value of the hat is after
production but prior to exchange. The "value" that you attach to the hat
is an "ideal value", yet the "real/actual value" may be less than what you
anticipated. In that case, the reality of the market shatters and
mocks your estimates.

A rather bold assertion. Please explain.
