Flem the thing is you isolate opening too much from runs in general which is antithetical to discussing 'value' which is basically pure rune/wickets.
The only time where what you're saying would be acceptable is if you win matches for balance. It's pretty ridic to say you'd rather have Warner than Steyn because of this as Steyn's value to provide cricketing units is far more than Warner's to provide cricketing units.
I've had a fair few drinks, someone like Cribbrex to come in and give the value perspective from a simulation angle/elaborate better than me.
