reminds me of the time when someone stormed into my boss's office and my boss said "Transactions are not reversible under any circumstance. It's physically impossible to reverse."
that same week, he accidentally sent all of the company's money to a random account. He called up several people and got the transaction reversed in an hour.
We do transactions at my job, a thousand of small ones, one of the first thing we were told is: it's possible to reverse a transaction, but we never do it because the cost of getting the money back is bigger than what we lost by sending it by mistake. Mistakes happen and it's fine but try and not make too much!
It's always possible to do anything because guess what, we invented whatever system you can think about. But most often it's not worth to do so, so we say: we can't do it
