In defense of 4: If the mean of x=3 and I introduce another x with the value of 4 then the mean of x increases.

As for 5 and 6... What's the problem?

Can you name a situation where the antithesis of 5 is true? Is it ever ethical to decrease the quality of life of one being even if it is of no increase to the quality of life of other beings?

Change 6 to "Farming animals is ethical as it tends to increase the mean quality of life for humans and animals". Farming animals makes a small minority sad, so what? It increases the quality of life for the majority of people. Also, if you accept premise 1 how can you reject 6 unless you want to maintain that the quality of life has no ethical value?
