Last thought and then I'll shutup. We all know what ideal states are. We all know what SAP claims will always be true. Having done this long enough, you stop listening to them.
So, sometimes the end result is delayed longer than SAP would have you believe. Sometimes caches are corrupt. Sometimes commits that are supposed to be committed are not yet. And so on...
