Nope, I'm not saying that. There are many systems that both don't depend on fine molecular information, and also are easier to restore from being vitrified than to restore from being burned to ash.

Would you agree with shminux's reply then?

Certainly shminux's reply isn't what I had in mind initially, if that's what you mean.

As for whether I agree with it on its own terms... I'm not sure. Certainly I lack sufficient neurochemical domain knowledge to make meaningful estimates here, but I'm not as sure as they sound that everyone does.
