Quite so. In the hard version of this case (that is, the efficacy of 
destructive reconstruction following cryonic suspension), it seems to me 
equivalent of setting up a bet with a panel of judges who might be Muslims 
or lunatics or might not, testing the assertion that men who die faithful 
obtain the services of 72 virgins, or that Brett is really a UFO Grey 
travelling among us in impenetrable disguise, or that carrots have a 
natural right to bear arms. Good luck!
