No, you can't think like that. While you might or might not rationally
think that NexusDB is worth $450, you can't use that line of reasoning
for inferring that it is worth $0 to you.

What if I said that going to the movies was 10 times better than staying
home watching TV, and concluded that Free*10 = Free? Would that mean
that it would be irrational of me to pay $10 for going to a movie? Of
course not. You can put a price on anything.
