Exactly, and that's a classic example of a situation where somebody might hurt themselves by incorrectly assuming that "fileinto" equals a "move" and therefore not putting a "stop" in the appropriate place.
Semantically, it really doesn't help that the word "copy" is used, either, which just adds to the confusion.
To be clear, I agree with you completely — please don't think I was trying to defend my approach as correct so much as I was trying to explain why I made the mistake in the first place, and why it may (incorrectly) seem like a more logical construct to the Sieve novice — hence all the more reason it needs to be explained, and your jumping in to clarify is much appreciated.
