Why does Daystrom have Kirk's body?

Thanks.

Although . . . MJF did write a novel postulating that the matrix was still there, and another was constructed.

And then tricked into blowing himself up.

Trying to remember what happened to the Kirk android at the end of TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of."

Vaporized.

It's not like the machine went anywhere.

Kind of odd, having a body duplicator that appears to work like some kind of weird gunstock lathe. (And I actually stumped Wikipedia!)

But I'm drifting off-topic.

Completely disintegrated via Hand Phaser by Android Andrea.

I think all the androids got "death by phaser".

It's rather an interesting conundrum put forward by the episode itself. Rather appropriately, I was reading an article by a SF author discussion why artificial intelligence may not lead to what appeared in this episode (or other properties like it).

More importantly, to me at least, was the idea that pure logic is not the source of intelligence.
