Would it make a difference if the laws of physics prevent or allow a machine from operating in ‘duplicate’ mode?

    Of course. Fastest travel = best travel.

    And the whole “you might die” sounds like big oil propaganda to me. I bet car accident deaths are way more likely.

      hmmm, I have to disagree there. Some of my best memories ever were made on trains and boats, during long hauls (at least a day, most often several days).

      But it’s not really the same kind of calculation as the car accident though. It’d be impossible to know if anyone using it ever had died from doing so, so impossible to compare the statistics and the concern is about whether the act of being teleported constitutes dying so depending on the answer to that the odds are either 100% or 0 (unless they have some kind of safety issue with more traditional, visible death or injury that bumps that up to something above 0% but below 100).
