I take it “any bad can be offset by a sufficient good” is what you are thinking of as being in the yellow circle implications. And my view is that it is actually red circle. It might actually be how I would define utilitarianism, rather than your UC.
What I am still really curious about is your motivation. Why do you even want to call yourself a utilitarian or an effective altruist or something? If you are so committed to the idea that some bads cannot be offset, then why don’t you just want to call yourself a deontologist? I come to EA precisely to find a place where I can do moral reasoning and have moral conversations with other spreadsheet people, without running into this “some bads cannot be offset” stuff.
