That is a nonsense comment. "2 { copypage } repeat" print 2 COPIES of
THE SAME PAGE, not "two pages". "Page" in the context of a PDL like
PostScript refers not to physical sheets of paper or whatever.

If a given page is meant to be printed twice, it will print twice even
when extracted with such a utility. That does not invalidate the
claims or description of such a utility as "extracting certain pages
from a PS document".
