Nope, wasn’t accusing you of anything. I was just amused by the point that anyone who wants to save as many lives as possible, but has only a finite amount of oil, must be able to state some consistent value of human life in terms of barrels of oil, since otherwise you could rearrange the oil to save more lives.
By the same logic, doesn’t everyone who steals X money, where X happens to be higher than the value of life, become a humanitarian hero?
By which I mean that I don’t understand your point. You seem to indirectly accuse me of commiting a fallacy, yet I don’t know which one.

I am probably becoming a bit paranoid lately.
