Making an error, and then correcting that error 4 hours later, is certainly many things. "Unfathomably rapid" comes to mind as my first response.

If he hadn't got a large following on Twitter would it have been rapid?
Perhaps! Unfortunately, given the available evidence, there’s no way to determine whether it’s a true causative or a false correlation.
Hard to know, since if he didn't have a large following, we wouldn't have heard about it either way.
Or at all?
That is rapid, but if (as Josh claims) they said they were going to pull the app 5 minutes later, it seems appropriate that they would have a quick response in their reversal.
