Oh, surely, surely.  Other operations (like changing permissions, the
file name, moving files, copying them) update the info in the dired
buffer without actually rereading the directory info, so the general
pattern would certainly imply that updating the info in the dired
buffer without actually rereading the directory info would be
something entirely different.

Again, if you are planning to make sense, you better try harder.  And
just removing all relevant context from posts of mine (which you have
now done two times already) in order to repeat your unsubstantiated
claim is starting to look silly.
