Just a little, as passing by assignment ( = ) and/or calling a
callable, affect an object's reference count, and that adds to the
copy by value idea (if nothing were being copied, we wouldn't need to
increment any counter -- what's being copied is of course a reference
to an object).

Thanks for your quick and informative reply.
