By this logic, I could rape babies and still be a better person than Mr. Rogers as long as I rode my bike everywhere, didn't use electricity, and ate only food that I grew or hunted myself.
If you hadn't picked Mr. Rogers, this would violate the "all else equal" clause of the claim. However, since he's a notorious baby raper, I would say that your comment is basically true.
Yes, that did kind of defeat the point.
