Yeah. Apparently cp got a lot smarter about isos at some point? Like basically everything else GNU/Linux, I'd never have guessed if some random website didn't say to try it.
(I can't respond to you person responding to me, but I meant that I think cp being able to write a working image directly to a dev was not always true, and people always used dd for that before)
