OK, but the cafeteria worker is part of Facebook. Every single person in the company is replaceable, but does contribution not mean more in terms of what that person is "worth" to the company? If you were looking to distribute money by fungibility, you'd end up giving minimum wage to almost everybody and millions to that one sysadmin who has created an elaborate system that nobody understands. There is no objective measure for what ratio people should be paid at, because different roles often cannot be compared; I think it's best decided democratically based on assessment contribution.
