You can still consider it. You have a generalization about everything in that gun. Only that. However, the physical composition, the amount of gunpowder it discharges upon firing, the maximum range, the amount of stopping power; these are all generalizations. Otherwise, the manufacturer has detailed knowledge regarding all aspects of that piece of equipment, and exact values of the parameters stated above.

And for those who say Kayaba is dead, his consciousness is still "alive". So technically, if you ask his scanned consciousness, he can answer any question regarding the capabilities of the NerveGear. Just because someone is dead doesn't mean that a question regarding that person is invalid.

Point: I can ask Einstein a question right now. How will he answer it? Simple, I go find his documents. They are sure to be, at least, reprinted somewhere.

Addition: And just calling someone dead to invalidate a question is cowardly. State an answer and back it up. You defeat the purpose by calling the question invalid.
