Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment:

Even if they know the meaning of "shallow" (which is not a really common word 
AFAICT), they might not know what it means in this context.

Adding an entry to glossary might be a better solution.

In this context I think the best solution would be to actually show the 
implication of having a shallow copy with another short example (hijacking the 
reader to some other page where they can find some in-depth description of what 
"shallow" might do more harm than good).
