Let me clarify then. Strong consistency = ACID consistency.

If I write the data and then immediately read it I will get the new data under all circumstances.

And ACID DB solves a tiny fraction of consistency issues.

Most of the really difficult problems show up when you have multiple users and still need consistency.

Granted, ACID databases make solving most of these far simpler.
