I have told on doing copy without knowledge is harmful and not helpful. This story is of little different angle. Many of us may have heard this story in past.
There was a man who used to sell hats. He used to take with him many hats in a wicker basket and then used to walk in the town and sell them and get his daily income. Certainly he was poor and had to walk whole day. He would sell the hats and then at noon time rest under a tree and have his lunch which was prepared by his wife and he used to carry with him everyday. One day as usual he sold some hats and then around noon time decided to take a lunch break . It was summer and the weather was hot, so he went to the outskirts of the town and rested under a big bunion tree . As he rested he saw there were many monkeys jumping around in the trees around. He ate his lunch and then had a water and then he decided to take a nap. When he woke up he saw that hats from his basket were gone and when he looked at the tree ,he saw many monkeys having hats on their head. He got panicky and did not know what to do. He had lost everything that he had and will not have any money nor he would have any hats to sell to make money. He stood up and shouted at them and they just showed him their teeth . He noticed that the monkeys were copying him . If he pointed to them they would extend their arms towards him If he shouted , they would make a sound . He thought for a second and he had an idea . He took off his hat and threw it on the ground . All the monkeys took their hats and threw on the ground . He quickly collected all the hats and put them in basket and walked away.
So doing a copy without understanding can be harmful but also can be used for advantage.
