Timeseries access and documentation confusion re: CopyXXX() functions...

My experience with reading the docs is that their English is not the best, so when they say something that is a little confusing, like "the data that will be ready", you have to step back and ask how would they have said that if they spoke English natively?  My interpretation, if I'm right in this case, is that they mean "the data that is ready".  There is so much of this kind of thing in their documentation, they really should hire native English speakers to proof their docs (people who understand trading and coding, not just some translator who needs a few bucks.)
I know what you're saying which is the reason I'm asking for the specifics. Most of the time, it's easy enough to "read between the lines" as far as the translation goes. However, on such critical things as ensuring fully SYNCHRONISED data is used for internal processing, the devil really is in the details. If the retrieved data is not what it seems, it can really make the difference between making and losing money. And you'd never pick these sorts of problems up in the tester as the tester ensures that all the data is synchronised prior to testing....
