Progammers worry too much about achieving perfect instant consistency which is impossible anyway, because so far Eintein's theory of special relativity holds true. The priority of the database needs to be to accurately capture and store facts, as they occour in the real world. Yes certain contraints may be breached, but as long as the activity is tracked correctly, these can be resolved later. Bank systems are not consistent, with HSBC for example even if I do an inter account transfer, the lags are often several minutes, international payments are slow antiquated and involve many human interactions. Checks are even worse, as a student I could go way over my overdraft limit because I deliberatly got extra checkbooks at the start of term, then with my check guarantee card I could cash £50 for each check, even at my own bank who knew i was over limit? But I still of course was liable to repay these and I did in full, because they were all recorded accuratly.
