Yeah, I mean, that also isn’t a crazy response. I think being like “what would it even mean to have 10^30 times more shrimp than atoms? Really seems like my whole ontology about the world must be really confused” also seems fine. My objection is mostly to “it’s obvious you kill the shrimp to save the human”.

Oh, easy, it just implies you’re engaging in acausal trade with a godlike entity residing in some universe dramatically bigger than this one. This interpretation introduces no additional questions or complications whatsoever.
