(Suppose you have an Input cell just before the pasted Output cell, so that execution leads to Input cell That cell's Output cell(s) Pasted Output cell Does the pasted Output cell now get deleted? If so, you're not safe anyway; if not, it says a pasted Output cell is no longer the same as an Output cell.)
