This makes perfect sense classically, but the quantum argument I'm not sure about; as he admits, he only finds fault with a particular apparatus using quantum behavior. But it seems that any implementation of a quantum bit that is eventually "measured" would violate the principle--is there something I'm missing, or is the problem just smoothed over by the probabilistic error already assumed in quantum circuits?
