we just fill the universe with humans being wireheaded, we should be able to get large quantities of real pleasure with fairly little actually worthwhile experiences
By this argument, we might not. If the wireheaded human beings never have experiences and never access their memories, in what way do they remain human beings? ie if we could lobotomise them without changing anything, are they not already lobotomised?

Very unseriously: Of course not, because if they were already lobotomized we wouldn’t be able to lobotomize them. :P
