Why would stating that nature has value, that should in fact be
calculated as value, lead you to march me off in that direction?

I very much doubt that statement, Charles. Try finding out the
difference in price between a piece of crop land with depleted soil, and
overgrazed into desert, and a fertile piece of property with adequate
water, that has been well cared for.
Or try this, a piece of land where pig sewage has been drained
into...... What happens to the exchange value to all the
surrounding area? Want to buy into that neighborhood? Or being
in the position of trying to exchange out?
Isn't capitalism currently destroying value by destroying nature?
What is the supposed difference in significance between 'use' and
'exchange' value?
