Potential Typo in Symbol chapter 6 about understandinges6 HOT 4 CLOSED

Can you explain more about why you think the wording is confusing?

from understandinges6.

The wording "Even though ... instead" indicates contrast.
Similar to using "but"

When I read the sentence it was like reading

Symbol.toStringTag is overwritten for arrays in this example, but the call to Object.prototype.toString() results in "[object Magic]".

However the result "[object Magic]" is the expected result.
So there is no contrast and no need for but.
Adding but is somewhat confusing, at least for me.

I would understand the sentence better if the underlying meaning was:

Symbol.toStringTag is overwritten for arrays in this example, therefore the call to Object.prototype.toString() results in "[object Magic]".

Okay, thanks, let me think about this a bit. My brain is having a lot of trouble with converting abstract ideas into words due to some health issues, so it's a bit harder for me to figure out which words make sense (let alone trying to figure out what I meant by my original words).

Okay, brain is a bit better today. I would change "even though" to "because" and otherwise use your suggested correction in the first comment.
