Imagine a person writing on a sheet of paper.  You can copy what he's
writing (reading over their shoulder) without affecting them.  However,
if you take the piece of paper away from them (i.e. cut) and don't tell
them, they'll start writing all over the table, which would be bad.

Now, erase works because I went through a lot of locking and tests to
carefully inform the "person" that I'm taking his piece of paper. 
Theoretically, all the functions could be done like this, but I didn't
get around to it.
