I guess it was unclear that here I was assuming that the creator knows with certainty all the evaluative contents of the life they’re creating. (As in the Wilbur and Michael thought experiments.) I would be surprised if anyone disagreed that creating a life you know won’t be worth living, assuming no other effects, is wrong. But I’d agree that the claim about lives not worth living in expectation isn’t uncontroversial, though I endorse it.
