All the duplications I know of were freak accidents that only happened because of some outside interference. A plasma storm, a spatial anomaly, an influx of chronitons... They barely even understand the cause half the time, and they're not trying to recreate it because they already have pretty good cloning technology that they don't need to use a transporter in a weird storm where they have the potential to be vaporized by lightning.

It seems like startrek lore has settled on multiple containment beams will duplicate people. It's referenced multiple times. :) Even intentionally done under battlefield conditions..... best Halloween party ever
