The consistency levels are not arranged in order of Strength.
The right order is

Strong . Bounded Staleness . Session . Consistent Prefix . Eventual

Just a quick heads-up that it may be worth it to expect more labs using top-level programs. The new .NET 6 default template for console apps uses these "scripts" and some of the ASP.NET templates have already moved on to using top-level programs without the Main class and namespace. It's a religious debate in the .NET arena, but the tide is turning and this makes it so much easier to write labs when the author doesn't have to say "in the x namespace, y class, line 5 of code." After these labs were written, the new "include default using" feature was added and the lab could have been trimmed more to remove the System.* namespaces. Oh well!
