> any given person should rationally conclude he or she is made of ones and zeros rather than flesh and blood

This statement presumes that "flesh and blood" are already not "ones and zeros". It also relates to my view that the conflation of "information" and 1s and 0s is very misleading. 1s and 0s are a view of information. The things on my hard drive are not 1s and 0s, otherwise what would I call corrupted locations?
