The consumer-vs-service error-disposition comment claimed the rev gate stops a redrive from reaching the sweep; in fact the consumer reconsiders the sweep on every redelivery whose row is already tombstoned — so its swallow is a genuine choice, which is what makes the service's surface-instead the real departure.
