I thought that. But *fermions* are, right? An individual electron wave function is isotropic, so (I hear) you should be able to do the BT trick (assuming you have a instantaneously-teleport-points-of-space-o-mat). So shouldn't you be able to copy each particle in the lemon onto a a particle in each of the others? That's glossing over a few details, but it sounds good, right?

(OK, you can't actually cut stuff up like that, but then you wouldn't be able to do it for a platonic lemon either.)

(Did I out-pedant Feynman?)
