As far as I can tell, no argument is made in the paper that human cryopreservation causes information-theoretic death, and neither of these repair options are discussed at all.

Cryonauts probably have enough information to reconstruct them to the point where childhood memories can be recovered. I don't think claiming otherwise would be a sensible critique. IMO, sceptics are better off sticking to looking at the costs.
