No, it can't, because the software might use a different algorithm for
emulating than the machine actually used. And of course, the interface logic
isn't emulated. What I mean is that if we wish to preserve machines for
study, then a copy is acceptable. Of course, there is that human element to
which you refer, but I'd rather have a copy than nothing at all.
