Query-based replication works when you know what the user probably wants to have in advance (e.g. a device in a warehouse needs records for that stock in that warehouse, not others). But that's still push.

You still need pull on demand access when a user opens any random item where we don't know in advance what they probably want (e.g. a discussion board scenario).
