What do you mean by 'the direct implication'?

GP said you can schedule game updates for the 1/3 of each day that you're not metered.

P incorrectly translated that to 'when you buy a game you have to wait a day to play it'.

So, as I already argued, these are not the same thing -- purchase & download of a game (impulse) vs regular patches (easily scheduled out of hours), and for a new game it's entirely up to you if you want to pull that down immediately (a modest percentage of 1TB).
