They address this; it's not that they don't fail, in practice...

the key insight is that changes should be flagged as conflicting when they touch each other, giving you informative conflict presentation on top of a system which never actually fails.

Isn't that how the current systems work though? Git inserts conflict markers in the file, and then emacs (or whatever editor) highlights them

The big red block seems the same as "flagged", unless I'm misunderstanding something
