That's right. But that's the case with any conflicts that are
resolved by the built-in conflict resolution wizard, as well.

And that's also why you are better off applying changes
field-by-field when the losing record has data you want to keep,
rather than by deleting the winning record.

Remember, the ConflictResolver function only controls what conflicts
get resolved automatically. If you have none, then you get the
default conflict resolution algorithm.

Either way, default or custom ConflictResolver function, you will
have conflicts that can't be resolved automatically, and those have
to be handled by the end user, either with the default wizard, or
with a custom UI.
