ship of theseus isn't relevant to nectome's claims or any claim regarding "uploading". "uploading" is just creating a copy in a different media. it doesn't preserve the conscioussness of the original media, it merely creates another. i think you'll find that the problems of philosophy and neuroscience operate at a different level of abstraction than what they're discussing.
furthermore, academic concerns aside, there's no disproving my original comment in the context of technical feasibility. it's literally bulletproof; one person does not share the sensations of another person.
postscript: i took a philosophy of mind class and a philosophy of cognition class and a systems neurobiology class in college plus a few others that are tangentially relevant. i'm not appealing to authority here, just stating that my simplistic objections are actually the result of an extensive amount of diving into the details of those disciplines. sometimes the details build a picture that's simple from afar.
