By stating that 'emotions' can be transferred to any type of
medium, is saying that emotion is something in and of itself
beyond the human form. So, said emotions can be re-experienced
again and again, without the actual performers presence, and 
even long after the performer is dead. Thus, emotion is 
something that must exist on it's own, and is not dependent upon
a human being. This makes human emotion seem to be of a mystical
nature, and something for which Kate would never stand.
