Sure, but everything qualitative is information. What remains? Is there any other way to think about reality than information?
Seems kind of silly to pull apart information as somehow separate or lesser than reality. Saying "real teleportation" is somehow different than "just information" is nonsensical. It's like saying with quantum teleportation that the two particles aren't "really" entangled, they just have the same state. Well if you can't distinguish the state, what distinguishes them? They're literally the same until something distinguishes them.
Or, to put it another way, "just" information teleporting isn't any less exciting. "real" teleportation doesn't hold up to much thought anyway; it's very difficult to ground it in physical terms. Is there much point assuming people think about teleportation that way?
