Hi rcraighead

You are right.

But: Does the result change?

the result inside the illustrator file wouldn't change. but someone could be relying on something that's already on the clipboard. in that case, this would overwrite the contents of the clipboard. that's the only difference i can see. (i'm not advocating that it's a good idea to rely on the clipboard in this way)
