You’re basically saying you can’t answer the question as posed, because it describes someone who is too different from yourself, and you value different things from that someone and don’t want to become like they are. Which is a perfectly valid position. It means the question’s scenario isn’t useful to you, and you can come up with a different one if you like.
However, your original comment is phrased as if it were an answer to the original question, which it really isn’t.
It was an answer to the question that the original question was posed to answer.
Also, it’s quite common to have thought experiments where you’re told to assume all else is equal, even though the assumption is insane. I can’t just assume that I’m not going to go to jail for murdering the guy on the track. I merely assumed that I care about my physical ability the same as I do in real life. It might go against the premise of the question, but it’s the sort of “assume all else is equal” thing you’re generally supposed to do with these questions.
