As a mathematician, this strikes me as an entirely reasonable interpretation, except for the fact that the compressed bodies would form a black hole, killing everyone regardless.

So you're correct to say that you wouldn't pull the lever, but your reasoning still missed an important detail.

I don't think a black hole would have time to form before the entire universal collapse, though

that's infinite mass inside infinite volume right there, we aren't talking about only infinite density anymore

we need to get a theoretical physicist on this... track
