What part of my answer did you not understand? If you made the copies,
didn't you know which was the copy source and which as the copy destination?
How can you copy something if you can't tell which is which? What keeps you
from copying the blank page into the original data? Why do you keep asking
the same question again without referencing any of the preceding answers?
