Since lefum tzzara agra, the sekhar for a mitzvah depends on the situation
that a person finds themselves in and their own abilities to make the
right choice. So, wihtout knowing your own nequdas habechirah really well,
without fooling yourself, you couldn't know the value of a mitzvah.

And why tzadiqim are judged kechut hasa'arah.

(Still: We do rank mitzvos by the sekhar or onesh listed in the chumash
for qal vachomer purposes.)

Tir'u baTov!
