Ken, you are leaving the "abstractness" and the "social necessity" of the
labor out of SNALT. A hand-built Toyota contains excatly the same amount of
ABSTRACT labor time that is socially necessary as a factory built one,
although it takes much longer to make it, because from a social pov theextr
atime is socially unnecessay and the labor involved is abstract or simple,
unskilled labor.
