Well, that's the question, isn't it?  I was paying attention all right, =
I'm just not convinced is all.  I totally agree with what you're saying =
about gross arrangement.  However, (and please forgive my siting =
examples from Star Trek, I do realize it's not-for-real, but they make =
some valid points, I think), in the Star Trek universe, inanimate =
objects are transported (and replicated) using molecular resolution =
(presumably throwing caution with respect to h/2pi to the wind, which I =
agree would be fine), and people are transported using quantum =
resolution.  There's so much we don't know about what makes us alive.  I =
would be worried about not getting the spin of my quirks right (probably =
too much worrying, though), let alone having my subatomic particles vary =
in position by h/2pi (which for all we know could make a world of =
difference when it comes to being alive).  You ask how a copy of a live =
you is going to differ from a copy of a dead you. . .I'm just not =
convinced that h/2pi is as small as we think it is when it comes to =
transporting live beings.  Maybe I'd just be like Dr. McCoy:  afraid to =
step foot into the transporter and get my molecules scrambled. . .
