If it was uncontroversial, I wouldn't be disagreeing with it...

If I came to this test in the future and saw it written oddly like that, I'd probably go "oh, somebody didn't realise it would just be simpler to use `cp`, so I'll just fix it while I'm here, since `cp` more clearly conveys the intended meaning". It's unlikely that I'd bother looking at the blame, because "it's obviously fine".

A big glaring comment saying not to do that in the file itself would probably be sufficient to satisfy me for now though.
