> I have no idea why are you bringing versioning into this conversation.
I can see that. Okay, let's say that someone has a corrupted music track on his iPhone, the track won't play, and even though it has a newer date than the original on his desktop archive, he needs to overwrite the new-date bad track with the old-date original.
> All I'm saying it, syncing does not have to involve a "source" and a "destination", nothing else.
All I am saying is you're not thinking about this with enough depth. In the above example, a modern, sophisticated two-way synchronization algorithm will overwrite the old-date good track with the new-date defective track unless the operator understands how synchronization works and prevents this default outcome.
> I don't know what do you mean by "get it right". That's a subjective concept.
No, it is not -- unless you think everything is a matter of opinion and there are no shared objective truths. And if you believe that, why do you even bother to post in public forums, forums that exist on the premise of the reality and utility of objective, shared truths?
