It's happened throughout human history, it will continue to happen. The film was already long, throwing another 20 or 30 minutes to expound on economics of the time and detail the uses and reasons for the value of the material would push it up to 3 hours+ and take you away from both the story and characters, which violates rule numero uno in storytelling and editing.
So it's not retarded, it's just good editing.
Just out of curiosity, off the top of your head, can you tell me why platinum is so valuable? If you can't, do you consider that a bullshit plot hole in your life that makes you hate it, or are you primarily interested in the human elements of your own life?
