This falsely assumes that economic actors necessarily have sound judgment about value

Does this matter in the context of this post? I.e. are GDPs "the sum of shit people pay for" or do they get adjusted for "sound judgment of value"?

Increase in GDP is very often assumed to be a positive thing and represent an improvement in society, and as far as I can tell the point of the joke is that this is a false assumption.
