Regarding “people’s ordinary exchange rates”, I suspect that in cases people clearly recognize as altruistic, the rates are closer to Brian’s than to yours. In cases they (IMO confusedly) think of as “egoistic”, the rates may be closer to yours. - This provides an argument that people should end up with Brian upon knocking out confusion.

Which cases did you have in mind?
People generally don’t altruistically favor euthanasia for pets with temporarily painful but easily treatable injuries (where recovery could be followed with extended healthy life). People are not eager to campaign to stop the pain of childbirth at the expense of birth. They don’t consider a single instance of torture worse than many deaths depriving people of happy lives. They favor bringing into being the lives of children that will contain some pain.
