Agree that the CAP theorem isn't as strict as that statement implies. The trade-off only occurs at certain points. Sorry it was a little unclear!

No need to be sorry. I liked the rest of the article. Thanks for that.

Edit: I also wrote my comment because the article is beginner friendly. A lot of beginners will get the right idea about CAP once they go through comments and then back again to your article.
