It would indeed be bad (objectively, for the world) if, deep down, we did not really care about the well-being of all sentience. By definition, there will then be some sentience that ends up having a worse life than it could have had. This is an objective matter.
Yes, it is what I value, but not just. The thing is that if you're a non-utilitarian, your values don't correspond to the value/s there is/are in the world. If we're working for CEV, we seem to be engaged in an attempt to make our values correspond to the value/s in the world. If so, we're probably wrong with CEV.
