If something is ultimately self-serving, it shouldn't be labelled altruism (if I keep talking no-one will notice that I didn't understand the OP )

Perhaps, but if we listen to Hobbes he also enforces the notion of perspective variances in the sub domain of humanist interaction, which is contradictory to say the least.
