High skill vs. low skill labor is also analogous to the value invested in discovering a diamond mine in his example. Even though it takes roughly the same amount of time to mine a diamond as it is to mine, like, some coal, it takes a lot longer to find the diamond mine, which is part of the value.

Similarly, high skills take a long time to "find." You have to discover them through study, diligence, time spent doing the actions etc.

not only that, but the entire presentation of the things in the supermarket and their supposed worth is completely and utterly unrelated to their actual use-value thanks to the compounding forces of the various techniques used to distort their exchange-values relative to each other.
