Given the introductory clause ("It's pretty much the same as any other operation on with a MOC"), this is potentially misleading. This applies to the specific case where you want to move data from one store to another.
For "typical operations with a context", you don't want to move records between stores. If you're using multiple contexts, the more likely scenario is that you have a realisation of a given record in one context and you want another realisation of the same record in another context. For that you do not *create* new objects in the second context (and you don't *delete* the old objects in the first context); instead you ask the context for a managed object using objectWithID: or similar.
