What I described does happen. You're saying something else doesn't happen...something I never claimed. That's a weird way to argue a point.
You get that the carousel existed before AMP, and didn't do any of this, right? No other page cache takes over the page like this. Digg died an early death, in part, by trying to do something similar. Taking over other people's pages...in their case an iframe.
What about the [x] button on the AMP banner being a back button to Google? Is that not odd? Don't most users expect an [x] on a banner to kill the banner and leave you on the page? Like the EU cookie warnings?
