I never claimed to be a complete utilitarian. For that matter I wouldn’t push fat men of bridges.
As far as the Wikipedia policy goes, it a policy that just doesn’t matter much in the grant scheme of things.
For what it’s worth I never touched the German Quantified Self that contained a paragraph with my name for a long time.
I do however have personal reasons for opposing the Wikipedia policy as Wikipedia gets the cause of death of my father wrong and I can’t easily correct the issue as Wikipedia cites a news article with wrong information as it’s source.
Should a good opportunity arise I will place the information somewhere citable and correct that report and I won’t feel bad about it.
The Wikipedia policy is designed in a way that encourages interested parties to anonymously edit, and I do think that Wikipedia deserves the edits from interested parties that it gets till it gets a more reasonable policy that allows interested parties to correct factual errors without planting the information somewhere and then editing against policy.

I am not talking about Wikipedia’s policies.
You said “worth lives”—what did you mean by that?
