"Am I reading this correctly? It seems to imply that the ability to build something is somehow orthogonal to knowledge of value."

Not only are you reading it correctly, that is in fact (part of) what I'm saying. Building something doesn't automatically create value. We've confused the two.

Orthogonality generally implies mutual exclusiveness (which I don't think is what you're trying to say).

No, it doesn't. Orthogonal means "at right angles", or "independent". The latter meaning applies.
