Dave has to sort out the conflict, but wasn't that the exact same person who couldn't be reached to sort out the initial conflict?

- Dylan16807 11y agoDave was available at times 1, 2, and 3 Dave is not available to resolve the conflict at time 4 Dave sorted out a conflict at time 3 in all versions of the the story. The problem is that nobody else knew which message was from time 2, and which was from time 3. Vector clocks fix that problem. Now in this particular case you could use a normal clock, but in more complicated scenarios that can lead to mistakes where vector clocks still work.
