it is physically impossible for "10^100 shrimp" to exist (there are fewer than 10^100 _atoms_ in the universe), and thus anyone who invokes "10^100 shrimp" is doing so to extract your assent or acquiescence to unwanted, bizarre -- or outright inhuman -- principles.

You should save 10^100 shrimp instead of one human, because 10^100 is a very big number. If you are 99.9999999999999% sure that shrimp feel 0 pain, and .00000000000001% sure that shrimp feel a 1/10000000th the pain humans do, this would still be an easy decision
