What do you think they were saying? I don't see any other way to read it.
HOT updates write to the same tuple page and can avoid updating indexes, but it's still a write followed by marking the old tuple for deletion.

I assume they typo'd "partitions" as "positions", and thus the GP comment was the correct reply.
