Some rating system can be shown to be bad and illogical. Here, I attempt to show that Humanitarianism is a bad system for rating actions. [/B]

Humanitarianism by definition only defines a positive act. It does not rank all behaviors. Your example also predisposes counteractive information unreachable by the target group at the time of the determining event. You cannot judge a person's reaction to an event by what that event unexepectedly causes.
