Egads. If this view were to hold there would be little to no incentive to innovate. The patent system would be no more than a tool to control who can be in a particular business. Just what the cabal wants. In fact that is essentially what they are arguing for. Without a market for innovation, what value do any of the patents have? The point is that there clearly is a market and it does assign value roughly proportional to innovation. An enabling invention like CDMA, that is at the base of an entire technology, is assigned more value than the add-on doodads agreed to by some committee.
