It's not just effectively identical, it's completely identical. The same matter, the same quantum state, the same consciousness.
The simplest answer would be because it doesn't ordinarily work that way.
No the fuck it isn't. Dualism is clearly true in Star Trek's universe and even if it weren't we see consciousness is maintained while beaming but is normally too brief to be perceived. (TNG: "Realm of Fear")
Beaming is no more death than sleeping, or existing for longer than a single Planck unit of time is.
Or sometimes "Ahead", in the same way Picard gets two.
In essence, Discovery followed the same arc as the Star Wars sequel trilogy. They swung for the fences on doing something wild and asking difficult questions that the franchise had taken for granted; and even if the answer they arrived at was affirming, there were too many loud nerds that couldn't look past either the flaws that genuinely existed or their own shallow prejudices. Those nerds were loud enough and long enough that the studio walked it back to try to appease them and ended up with something much less interesting, which both alienated defenders of the early direction and could never appease the bad eggs whose criticisms weren't in good faith, leaving something that only a few appreciated.
But we have to remember that a lot of people are younger and used to apps that “just work” with not even so much effort as having to sign up for an account.
If they're commenting on reddit they're used to the idea of signing up for an account.
I cannot speak to the internal decisions of /r/StarTrek, but I can speak to /r/DaystromInstitute's decisions.
As of yesterday, noncompliant moderation teams are under threat from /u/Spez and his lackeys. We reached the decision to reopen, in a limited capacity, to prevent the community from facing a hostile takeover by those who do not properly appreciate its use or its value, and to hopefully funnel traffic here, and we intend that soon those will be the only purposes of the subreddit. In coordinating this move I trust my collagues on the other subs to act in the best interests of the community first, this instance second, and the profiteering bastards last.
Romanians and Romani aren't the same thing. But yeah, probably best not to imply that any human ethnicity are secret aliens.
It even looked like the adrenaline Bruce uses in the climax of The Batman when he's fighting that sniper.
Which is absurd as souls objectively exist in Star Trek and at least two major species objectively have them-- which implies most do.
