Hmmm.
I will have to mull on that, but let me leave with a mote of explanation:
The reasoning strategy I used to arrive at this conclusion was similar to the one used in concluding that "every possible human exists in paralell universes, so we need not make more humans, but more humans feeling good."
Doesn't every possible human-feeling-good also exist in parallel universes?
(And if you argue that although they exist you can increase their measure, that applies to the every-possible-human version as well.)
Sure, but I will quote Karkat Vantas on time-travel shenanigans from Andrew Hussie's Homestuck
