Pure speculation: maybe it simply cannot be converted one to one in a way that makes sense. Think of the information that needs to be transmitted to beam one person. You not only have to transfer the mass, but also a lot of things (for instance the state of subatomic particles) that cannot be expressed in ones and zeroes.

Now I'm wondering: Is there even a concept of "position" in hyperspace?

If Watto had faith in Anakin, why was he betting against him?

But the Emperor's plan was to bring Luke to the dark side by allowing himself to be killed by him, wasn't it?

@apollo I understand the number as "the chance of developing cancer is 3% higher than under normal (earth) circumstances". Not as "a little bit of fatal cancer".

If Regulation 191 would really be worded that way, it would be a pretty bad regulation. "Tactical Superiority" is not something that is always clear cut. It depends on the overall strategy and it may change several times during a hostile encounter. In reality, it would lead to endless arguing and power-grabbing, commanders not following orders because they "felt they had tactical superiority", and so on. It would be a disaster.
