>Just checking for non-equality (!=) says the byte arrays are different, if I loop though all the elements I find that the byte arrays are the same. I am trying to come up with a good reason why it was implemented like this. Any help is appreciated.

You're confusing value equality with reference equality. Default comparison is reference.

byte[] copy = two;
if (copy == two)
{
//true;
}

True....
