Here's a theory: Eyal is referring to chained and migrated rows.  With media
recovery, the recovering instance infers where the migrated or chained data is
located, becuase it is an exact physical copy.  Since the SharePlex replicated
instance is not an exact physical copy of the primary, it must go back to the
source database to figure out which blocks' changes represent changes for a
block that SharePlex already knows about.
