I think it’s not fair to say that iteration doesn’t ever include any steps back. Development isn’t always straightforward and it doesn’t always go perfectly.

repeating the same thing does not make your point stronger

This is not evidence to the contrary, especially when the company is intentionally trying to find the limits on a development article.
