    Yes. Or more specifically, I, the original copy expresses a strong
    preference for 1A over 1B. The duplicate copy has no strong preference
    either way.

    I don't care either way. I see no effect on the original in either case. I
    see no basis to prefer one over the other. It would be cool and interesting
    to have another twin, but it makes little difference to me.
