One example is that instead of adding support for edge case mutations/changes late in a process, it's sometimes better to force those records to be thrown away and reset with a new record from the start of the process. You avoid chasing down flow on effects of late unexpected changes in different parts of the application.

To give a contrived/trivial example, imagine a TLS handshake. Rather than building support to allow hosts to retry with a different cert, it's better to fail the connection and let the client start from scratch. Same principle can be applied to more complex process automation tasks in business. Imagine a leave tracking system. It might be better to not support changing dates of an existing leave application, and instead supporting cancel & re-apply. Best part is that the user facing part of both versions can be exactly the same.
