I love how they call this teleportation, because, from a macro perspective, the point that this is simply distributing information, is overly literal and obtuse.
If I could step into a phone booth in DC and step out in Paris I can't I would care whether it was matter or information which was transported. Identity, in this regard, is nothing more than information about the local makeup and configuration of your constituent particles.
I no more worry that it is information being sent than I worry that the $100 I deposited in my account via ATM last week is different from the $100 I pulled from my account yesterday.
