I get the idea, and it's a pretty good one.

But the headline is really bad. It's not a commodity and it's not valuable. It is what creates value; it's what makes value meaningful.

Don't get hung up on the headline. It's a thesis equivalent to the notion that art comes from struggle against some kind of limitation. That limitation is usually arbitrary (the form of poetry, the rules of a game, the difficulty of oil paint and brush), but the result is meaningful despite and because of it.
