That would depend - is the input also capable of anything? If it’s capable of handling any input, and as you said the output will match it, the yes of course it’s capable of any output.
I’m not pulling a fast one here, I’m sure you’d chuckle if you took a moment to rethink your question. “If I had a perfect replicator that could replicate anything, does that mean it can output anything?” Well…yes. Derp-de-derp? ;)
It aligns with my point too. If you had a perfect replicator that can replicate anything, and you know that to be true, then if you weren’t getting gold bars out of it you wouldn’t say “this has nothing to do with the input.”
My point is that your reasoning is too reductive - completely ignoring the mechanics of the system - and you claim the system is capable of _anything_ if prompted correctly. You wouldn't say the replicator system is capable of the reasoning outlined in the article, right?
