But isn't this just making an argument to continue with utilitarianism, while making deeper predictions about the likely impact of either course of action? I.e. the problem is the shallow metrics, not the utilitarianism.
I realise that malaria nets was just an example, but on the issue of malaria in particular, it's been proposed that the disease could be eradicated within 30 years. That seems like a structural change that could have an effect on billions of lives over the coming centuries.
I agree, eradicating Malaria is something very worthwhile. I have no issue with people fighting against Malaria. I have issue with people who say "fighting Malaria should overshadow any attempt at justice reform because of this one metric". (Sadly, I've spoken to a few this week)
Is there some doubt about their motivation for bringing up malaria (i.e. they just don't want to support justice reform, and don't intend to help anyone)? It would be unsurprising. I think someone could still believe in good faith that malaria nets is better for humanity overall.
