The value of cost.

[trueraijin]

Why should I be impressed if you can effortlessly do something? What does it prove to me?
A person ought to be more impressed if an action costs you something, if it makes you impress yourself.
The harder something is, the more valulable it is.

Effortless implies, in some cases, great skill or much practice. You've done it so many times it no longer makes you sweat.

Well really it depends on what is being done. If something simple is done effortlessly, then it really means little. If something complex is done WELL with little to no effort, then that is a feat in and of itself.
Just because something is harder, doesn't mean it should really cost anything either.
