    Yep, I can grasp this concept of "guessing" the particles
attributes, but do you think that the reconstructed object (with
approximated particles) would be sufficiently identical to the original?
Perhaps there is a quantum equivalent of the "Butterfly Effect" causing
the original and the copy to gradually diverge in physical appearances.
If I transported myself, would I still be 'me'?
