The reasoning is flawed. If an empty state is considered "consistent" because it can externally be "populated from a trusted source", any state can be considered "consistent" as long as a process can be defined that yields a truly consistent state. For example: Leaving the in-memory state aound after stop() is also consistent: it's waiting to be synchronized "from a trusted source".

The definition of "consistent" is either too weak to be useful or does not hold for the start() method.
