This has nothing to do with Marx.
The correct marxist doctrine on this issue is that:

The value of an object should be
proportional to the SOCIALLY NECESSARY
human labor input to it, rather than the
input of a particular human.

The remark you quote and comment upon is not mine but Martin Davis' ... a
remark I made a remark on in my posting.
