How is a building's cost paid, and do the card values matter?

The rulebook's Builder section says cost is paid by number of cards, not value.

You discard cards from your hand equal in number to the cost shown in the card's corners, whatever values are printed on them. A building you cannot pay for from your hand after discounts cannot be built.
