Confusing word play in the definition of AP under CAP theorem portion.

The post says - "Responses return the most recent version of the data available on the a node, which might not be the latest."
Can this be changed or finetuned ? Maybe something like -
"Responses return the most readily available version of the data available on any node, which might not be the latest." Again here we talking about multi-node system ( on account of P of CAP). So in essence there is no assurance that previous WRITE/UPDATE would have cascaded to all nodes thereby giving C (of CAP). On the other hand the consumer does a look-up and which ever node is hit , returns the data ( or its state)
