No. As the reasoning show only that the particular matter used in the digital substitution does not matter, which we knew at the start. To get a contradiction you need to show that the matter that we observed is differ,t from the matter brought bay the infinitely many computations statistically interfering below our substitution level, but we do find there exactly what nature shows us there.
