Weak Consistency allows for temporary inconsistencies. If the inconsistencies are temporary, doesn't this mean the replicas will eventually converge?

In case of weak consistency, it can take longer compared to eventual consistency, or not be consistent at all. It can be used when replicating cache or large scale writes for distributed data analysis.

Here is the main difference between weak and eventual consistency:
- Weak consistency has an indefinite consistency window.
- Eventual consistency has a finite but undefined consistency window.
