The version of 0B2 originally posted for comment today already made reference
to "the perfect copy," so I felt free to reuse the term. But I
will say I noticed the term's presence: I think we had lots of discussion (and
nervousness) in the glossary group and in BSC generally about using the term
"perfect copy" because of the chance for confusion with the loaded
term "ideal copy." <br>

I think breaking up the long second sentence helps.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>0B2. Imperfect copies.</span></b> In general,
