On the first point, would you hold that a world with a billion people with experiences trillions of times better than the best current experience and one pinprick would be morally bad to create?
I don’t think any world would be good to create in itself, including an extremely blissful world without any suffering, so it’s at best neutral.
If the pinprick creates a preference against the overall experience (not just that another experience would be better) or a negative overall experience, then I would say that creating that world is bad, but barely so, only as bad as that pinprick.
