I had scope insensitivity in mind. The universe is pretty big and one person's life is pretty small.
I see, thanks.
Of course Kyubey never reveals how much saving-of-the-universe Madoka's life would pay for exactly. It's not just her life (and suffering) they want, but all the MGs in history, past and future, for an unspecified extention of the Universe's lifespan...
Also, Kyubey clearly has pretty drastically different values from people, and thus his notion of saving the universe is probably not quite right for us.
