We don't have a way to objectively evaluate that cost, nor do we have
a way to apply such a cost.

If you're making up numbers, you can make up that recycling is as
worthwhile as you wish it were.  That doesn't come anywhere near
making it so.

That it is worthwhile, presented "ipso facto," is today's politically
correct "voodoo economics."

Oddly enough, this is completely standard behaviour for shells. This
is a roundabout way of saying `don't use combined chains of `&&'s and
`||'s unless you think Gödel's theorem is for sissies'.
