I can see why you might feel that way, if this was just a technical flaw in CEV that can be fixed with a simple patch. But I've been having a growing suspicion that the main philosophical underpinning of CEV, namely preference utilitarianism, is seriously wrong, and this story was meant to offer more evidence in that vein.
A similar problem shows up in hedonic utilitarianism, or indeed in any case where your algorithm for determining what to do requires 'counting people.'
