I see your point Ted especially if this was a non sequitur which pops up
this one time but this craziness has been going on for years  on the LUG and
its just plain nuts and I really had to  put my foot down sometime. Plus it
was my first cup of coffee of the day.
We both know that basic practices of photography is not what we
theoretically imagine them to be; but what in practice what really goes
down. Bringing us back to your original statement....
I'd recommend anyone who thinks copy negs have much use at all to try making
one.  And having done that try making a print from it is if you cant its not
a copy negative is it!?  dust off your darkroom. Take your million dollar
neg that you only touch with mini mouse gloves and try to make a half decent
copy out of it with one of those odd gizmos in the catalogs.
Just because somebody makes some crazy gizmo does not mean anybody uses it.

About the only use I've ever seen for a 35mm "dupe" is for multi screen
slide shows.
