I don’t see those two ideas as equivalent, and so I don’t agree at all. I can imagine a user seeing a page to input their email address and a subsequent page to input their password as two different pages, and so navigating back from the password input page should take you to the email input page. I don’t think a user would expect to return to a page which models n-1 of a kind of a input when navigating back from a page which models n of a kind of input because conceptually they are the same thing.

They are not to the least conceptually the same thing: this is the form you customized by interacting with an action button. You expect this to change the state, and you do this either for a purpose, or by accident (in which case you may want to revert this, as you may fear that you've just broken the process.)

  I still don't agree with you, and I think we might be talking past each other. To clarify, does the following scenario sound reasonable to you? 1. User wishes to enter five calendar dates 2. User navigates to form for entering a calendar date 3. User navigates to form for entering two calendar dates 4. User navigates to form for entering three calendar dates 5. User navigates to form for entering four calendar dates 6. User navigates to form for entering five calendar dates 7. User changes mind, and now wishes to abandon the process of entering five calendar dates 8. User navigates back, and is presented with a form for entering four calendar dates 9. User navigates back, and is presented with a form for entering three calendar dates 10. User navigates back, and is presented with a form for entering two calendar dates 11. User navigates back, and is presented with a form for entering a calendar date 12. User navigates back, and arrives back where they were before navigating to the first form
