In the Star Trek universe, where the matter is converted to information, transmitted and then converted to matter, then your statement may be true. But, in other universes where the matter is actually translated in a dimension then it will not be. Also, we don't actually know what "you" is and whether it would be included in the Star Trek mechanism.

My point really, is that there are varying fictional universes but in ours, we don't currently have a way to do teleportation. So, as you say, experience is subjective.

Ah I forget that I'm back in the timeline that doesn't have physical teleportation... I have to start keeping notes on which universe has what.

you're in that superset of worldlines that require an Ellis Drainhole held open with a counter-rotating exotic matter "collar".

If we accept physicalism i.e. that the world just consists of the physical, then the two methods should be identical except for a possible time delay.
