That distinction is overly pedantic. That's like saying, "No, the store didn't refund my payment. Instead, they made a second transaction that returned an equal amount of money to me."
- pcthrowaway 4y agoIt's like doing a `git revert` vs. `git reset --hard HEAD~1`. The distinction is relevant enough to people, and it's fair to point out how this might be different from what many people consider a 'rollback'. git revert can be merged with a fast-forward. `git reset --hard HEAD~1` would require others to reset their clones also (and is more like what happens when blocks become orphaned in Bitcoin)

- TakeBlaster16 4y agoI agree -- instead of opening with the scornful "False.", he should have opened with "Here are some interesting details about how that transaction is represented in the underlying data structures"
