is you're assumption based on that people would still use a current valuing system based upon a diamond's size? (ie because we do it this way now there's no way that people could do it another way in the past or in the future) a system could be made that would make it as easy as the gold one that you mentioned, and it still would be the same behavior that is in operation.
