The greatest glory for the smallest child

Bad things versus good things: the greatest good for the greatest number rewards all actions equally, so there is equal rewards for different levels of goodness, people are not rewarded for doing good, the differences are erased.
Remember when I said there were problems with the theory? (Although, this wasn't even the one I was thinking of, it is a legitimate point)
And...didn't Jesus say something about loving everyone as yourself?

I think Hitler Stalin would also have met this criteria, at that age. Wouldn't it make more sense to gauge the rate of good/bad things done, rather than the overall? (and give a little leeway to small children and the mentally infirm)
