It's about separating your understanding of what a player is worth in terms of stats, vs what their price is going to be based on your league tendencies. Value and price are different concepts.

Billions of people can drive cars. If I'm a mechanic, I'm more adept at handling an unexpected situation when my car breaks. I don't have to be a mechanic to drive a car, and 90%+ of the time I dont need to be. but it can help.
I believe when we discuss cars lets discuss them like mechanics, not like drivers who don't understand how it really works under the hood.
