But they'd prefer just the CEV of you two to the one of all humanity, and the same goes for each single human who'd raise that objection. The end result is the CEV of you+everyone hat could have stopped you. And this dosn't need handling before you make it either: I'm pretty sure it arises naturally from TDT if you implement your own and were only able to do so because you used this argument on a bunch of people.
