Because we are not going to modify the client code to NOT send acknowledgments for messages being delivered. The acknowledgment-sending portion of the client-side aspect stack is "unaware" that it just went through a failover and it will dully continue to behave as designed, i.e. sending acknowledgments for messages being consumed. It's the secondary server job to realize that the acknowledgments arriving for deliveries it actually does not have (or better said, did not create by actually sending messages) are legit, and are generated by "salvaged" non-persistent messages. 

Does it make sense?
