And we call them Riker when they're not.

Proving that what comes out at the destination need not be the person that went in, but only a precise facsimile. There's no reason then to be certain that the original ever makes it to the destination, but only something most would agree is the original. Whether this means the original "dies" or not is a metaphysical question, and not a "tech" question.
