It is not clear enough that is a warning of known issue, something that should 
be fixed, a bug. At least, I didn't understand it.
I'd say something like: "Note: Currently, because of a known problem in Slate 
inheritance, the clone message is available for any Slate object, including 
Oddballs, and always produce a new, bitwise identical copy of its receiver. 
You should therefore be extra careful when the result of a clone is used 
inside a test, since all of the following expressions return False."

Thank you... thank you for the tutorial, it is much improved :D
