A rearranged "mostly you" is better than "no you". Sometimes the transporter was used to escape some life-threatening danger.
It reminds me of the line from The Princess Bride (1987), "It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive."
You can do pretty well even if only "slightly alive" :)

I have a pretty McCoy attitude about it, but when there are shields etc, reversing the polarity always seems to work.
