	No:

	Iconical garbage = worthless.
	Iconical diamonds = valuable.
	Real garbage = value depends on the garbage and the person.
	Real diamonds = value depends on the person.

	Worthless = a person has no motivation to keep it.
	Valuable = a person had high motivation to keep it.

	Realistically speaking,
