Respectfully, I think you completely miss the point.
Charlie said that it's possible to regenerate APTs. I have no reason to doubt him, and I'm curious to see how it's done. Or, maybe he's wrong, like you seem to promptly assume, but let's see what he says, shall we?
I imagine two possibilities:
- if APTs are nothing but rendered audio, then it's impossible. It's like restoring your steak into a beef.
- if APTs are rendered audio files with some attached information about how BIAB created them (which RT, which tempo, which chord / riff for each bar, plus whatever other info is needed, which must be relatively little information given the small size of BIAB song files) then yes, in theory BIAB should be able to read that information and recreate the RT that originated the APTs. It seems clearly possible to me. Maybe it's not the case yet, contrary to what Charlie says, but it is certainly possible. In fact, it seems like a desirable feature to have, as that feature would allow you to "freeze" any track, so that you don't lose all the fine tuning that you performed on that track, while knowing that once you've frozen it you can always go back and change something (like transposing, changing tempo, changing some riffs, whatever).
Hope it's clear now.
You have the steak, but if enough information is there then yes, you could go back to the beef - in this case.
