Patur Aval Assur,

(This is assuming it has value to us. If not then there is no reason to do it.)

Nope, I reject this parenthetical, because it contradicts what you were willing to accept above (that you don’t know what the value is).

So you are agreeing that the reason to do something is that it is valuable, as opposed to simply because it is the ???.

What is the ??? if not the ultimate value of an act?

So do you also agree to the point that follows from that, namely that someone who saves someone is no better than someone who kills someone, since they are both simply pursuing value?

No, because one value can be better or worse than another.
