Totally agreed. For the thought experiment, make the super liberal assumption that most value was produced and realized in the past year (or a single year), and it becomes comparable. Otherwise, the inefficiency is a hard lower limit. So in the extreme case, the lower bound is 5x inefficiency. If we assumed a value equivalent to 1-5% of market cap is realized every year, it becomes 100x to 500x inefficient.
