I do think it might be best to not think in those terms, but literally
just in data movement terms.

Because the "buffer ownership" mental model is clearly confused, when
data transfer might be ongoing, but the CPU might need to just look at
"what's going on right now" without actually taking any ownership of
the buffer.
