The point is that teleported Dan may be different from non-teleported Dan in ways that are very different (meta-different?) from the differences between Dan(t=n) and Dan(t=n+1).

This is certainly how quantum systems work.

Maybe. But the teleported differences aren't necessarily worse.

They won't necessarily exist either. I'm describing a way the world might turn out to be, I never said this is the only way.
