I know the "Hall" is full of sinners. But don't you think that "human sacrifice" would have excluded such a man from the list of heroes? I do.

Though I would prefer your interpretation/understanding of the Judges passage to be correct, I find the above logic not a great defense of your opinion.
Samson was, to put it nicely, a male whore, and the last person you would want your son to desire to mirror.
Barak would not go to battle for the Lord, unless a woman went with him.
Gideon doubted in the beginning, and went apostate at the end.
These are certainly not what we would define as great examples. And yet here they stand, immortalized in the Hall of the Faithful. In the light of those mens failures, I doubt that human sacrifice, as horrible and wretched a thing it is, would disqualify someone from being placed along side the faithful.
