You are (though he could have been a bit more helpful). The emacs
manual says of M-n (in the info node `(emacs)Minibuffer History'):
For many minibuffer arguments there is a "default" value. In some
cases, the minibuffer history commands know the default value. Then you
can insert the default value into the minibuffer as text by using `M-n'
to move "into the future" in the history. Eventually we hope to make
this feature available whenever the minibuffer has a default value.
In particular, if you use M-n to `move into the future' at many
file-operation prompts, it will use the filename of the current buffer
(or the filename under point in dired).
