But you can’t assume they’re the same. If I install a $1 camera in 10 million cars and save 10000 lives, I haven’t shown those lives are worth $1000. I have shown saving those lives cost $1000 each. Maybe you can say it’s a floor or something

Sure, that line of speculation is basically infinite so I won't go there. But it's more than just a floor. It is a measure of worth in the sense of that's what we are willing to pay. "True worth" is a solipsistic concept you can't do math with.
