Is Sarang a complete idiot?

[1eyedking]

Sarang and the whole continuity thing is a plot device added to generate drama about consciousness. I don't think a single player ever doubted about the stupidity of his actions because continuity is impossible if two separate entities are what happens after a brain-scan (Catherine even confirms this numerous times). What I don't doubt is that such stupidity could totally happen in a real scenario.

PS: Moving files from one medium to another always creates a copy. The only way Simon and Catherine could have gone into the Ark without needing to copy themselves would have been by physically inserting their chips into some sort of USB slot inside the satellite. But then we wouldn't had had the amazing ending after the launch...
