Well, just remember that NAND gates are made of transistors themselves which are a statistical model of a sort… just designed to appear digital when combined to that NAND level.

This is why I am very interested in analog again—quantum stuff is statistical already, so why go from statistical (analog) to digital (huge drop off of performance, e.g. just look at basic addition in a ALU) and back to statistical. Very interested. Not sure if it will ever be worth it, but can’t rule it out.
