You mean "If you don't value reduction in sufferung". If I value suffering, I would be a sadist and consider the infliction of pain to be its own reward.

Not necessary. Value as seen in common usage is subjective. Consistency and logical soundness are only of value in the pursuit of the objective.

There is no must. There would be no must if one value reduction in suffering, but only amongst some subset of those who are capable of suffering. There would be no must if one value reduction in suffering, but value some of what may be attained through infliction of suffering more. There would be no must if one value reduction in suffering, but judge the cost of the implementation of the reduction in suffering to in fact be be equivalent to greater suffering.
The attempt at reduction of value system to a single variable along a single axis is, how do you say "simple minded, obsessive, impudent and infantile" politely?
