Truly admiring your deep understanding of the real-time technology, I should remind you
that within the real-time conditions almost each event may happen and may not happen, for
instance, two calls from different context to the same funtion may happen at the same or
almost the same time, and may not happen that way. Therefore I used the word "possible".
Hope I clarified that a bit for you.

Please also see my previous emails for the explanation of how priority inversion can
happen. This is not gonna be a rare case, BTW.
