It just depends on if "should" is interpreted as "what would best fulfill my wants now" or "what would best fulfill your wants now" (or as something else entirely).
We can't make sense of ethical language until we realize different people mean different things by it.
One thing it seems to be used for around here is "what should you never do even if you should". E.g. it's usually a really bad idea (wrt your own wants) to murder someone, even in a large proportion of cases where you think it's a good idea.
