That sounds like every byte would need two locations, one to hold the information, and a second sacrificial location to read the first location.
But if the sacrificial location is destroyed by reading it, then it could only be read once. If it can only be read once, how does the computer search for shit in memory, without destroying everything it's not looking for?

curiouser and curiouser.
