Major Flaw

Replicators do NOT create matter from energy, as is stated in the text of this page. Replicators take raw matter and rearrange the atoms to follow a specific blueprint (the atomic structure of something it has on file) to create a copy of that item. Let's not mislead our readers, please. -Varaan (talk) 20:46, 30 June 2015 (CDT)

Wikipedia says that it uses energy at the subatomic level. While there was raw material, it was torn apart to form the basis of the matter. It's essentially correct. I'll make a minor correction. Ceciri (talk) 01:45, 1 July 2015 (CDT)
