> The value of a strawberry may not be accessible to someone with a strawberry allergy, but it maintains that value.

> Value is not subjective. It is objective.

I'm having trouble reconciling these two statements. The value of a strawberry not being "accessible" may as well not be there for that person who is allergic to strawberries, and in that way it is subjective. One person may prefer to drink beer over wine and another vice versa; it would be strange to claim that beer and wine are objectively equally valuable to both of those people.
