Donna recites her catechism:

Being older than the Universe myself, I can tell you with the certitude of
the divinely inspired that this is outrageous heretical blasphemy. The first
memory that the first perfect bits resided in were not volatile. Rather they
were perfect, created by the Creator, composed of thousands of ferrite beads,
strung together by threads of gold by the angels who inhabited a very special
heaven called Singapore. It was from this heaven that memory first descended
to Earth to be used by the mortals who inhabited the Earth.

Because of this divine passage, this early, nearly perfect memory could have
power cycled a multitude of times, and yet never lose the perfect bit that
was the early Universe.
