The assumptions were, "Gee, this is really powerful -- 100 points seems about right." It wasn't "assembled" from anything, so it's hard to imagine what it would mean to dismantle it.

Delusion ("There a secret system behind the system that the designers used to give prices to advantages!") is common, but a Delusion nonetheless. Pricing systems, such as they are, appear in the rulebooks for all to see. Anything that just gets a price without a system was wished into being by designer fiat. The "system" is the centuries of combined game-design experience possessed by the many writers who've worked on GURPS since 1986. Or tossing darts. One of those.
