You seem to be claiming that intelligence can overcome fundamental limits of physics and signal processing.
Solving the upload problem possibly requires imaging / scanning at a level of detail that might be outside what is possible within the constraints of physics. If it turns out we need atomic level information for the whole body, the project might be hosed from the beginning, something that better ideas or more thinking can't overcome.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but are you implying that a neuron/synapse-level scan might not be sufficient?
