Okay I’m with you, but if I’m not mistaken I believe you have slightly mis-characterized what strong eventual consistency is.

I believe this isn’t quite correct. I was under the impression that the delivery doesn’t have to be immediate, but rather that any two nodes with the same set of events, regardless of received order, must be in the same state.

I'm taking my definitions from section 2.2 here. I feel like I've summarised it fairly accurately, but if I've made a mistake would be happy to be corrected.
