Worth doesn't have to be absolute nor quantifiable. To use a mathematics analogy, you can have an ordered set without addition and subtraction, and it could even be roughly ordered so you can't tell the difference between two adjacent elements.

Worth doesn't even have to be one measure. In math you can have two different ordering functions which give different results on the same input.
