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.
 
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.

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.
