   Yes; I plead guilty to having been surprised in my 'ignorance' of the   
   permissions and ownership 'bizness'.   
      
   It isn't always true that just because you can 'see' it, you can do   
   whatever you want to do w/ it.   
      
   In the situation (which isn't worth my describing here) I had trouble   
   w/, I had to find a workaround.   
      
   However, in my experience, the problem wasn't that I was 'deceived' (as   
   in thinking I had copied something but actually had not); my problem was   
   that I could NOT just copy/paste the target to where I wanted it.   
      
   I solved it by opening a file manager as root, but plenty of advice   
   places say, "Don't do that."
