Hi, I sorta knew that - IOW, I wasn't sure. But, when working with important photos on a computer, it never hurts to play it safe. There's always the possibility that you can hit the wrong key and end up deleting files rather than pasting them. It seems to me that if you've spent a full day out photographing, or even just a few minutes making some important shots, an extra second or two being cautious is good insurance. Probably the chances of losing your work are small, but, to paraphrase an often seen bumper sticker, "Stuff Happens."
It seems interesting that someone can say that their technique "may be dangerous" and then continue using it because so far there haven't been problems.
