Yes.

No, you wouldn't even know the "original's" thoughts, you would only know
YakWaxx's thoughts, exactly the same is true of the "copy". By the way,
you're assuming that you are "the original" (whatever that means), but you
only have a 50% chance of being correct, not that it matters.

Not a thing.
