The green handle performs a *very deep* copy of the object - in fact, 
when copying the inspector it creates a copy of the inspected object, 
too. If you change the original object, only the first inspector will 
update, since only the first inspected object is changed.

To "duplicate" an inspector select "self" and press "cmd-i".
