    In the Greatest Generation postcast they posit that you can actually get anything you want materialized at a certain temperature.

    A Stradivarius violin. Luke warm.

      Hm, and I guess in any variant state. Janeway always gets “Coffee. Black.”

      Is is possible for something to be replicated that if one of its defining features is the person who built it?

      If the violin was replicated, it was not built by Stradivari, and thus is by definition not a Stradivarius.

        In the 24th century, where ownership is a foreign concept, I don’t think they give a flying fuck what ancient neck-beard built the instrument if it’s per-atom perfect. They don’t give a fuck about materials, only outcomes.
