Right, and either you're willing to pay that cost OR temporary inconsistency is acceptable to you. BDR doesn't warp the speed of light.
Also: If bank accounts are involved, inconsistency is not acceptable. Someone will bankrupt you. That's not BDR's fault.

Fun fact: a large portion of bank accounting systems are not fully consistent. It's a but scary at first, but of you think about it, it's not that surprising: e.g. not all ATMs and shops are always online, particularly in the past. Many systems also couldn't and some still can't, keep up with the full load on peak times in a central manner.
