Quick question: The guide mentions one should use !this.isSimulation

When you define a method, the method source code will be run on the client initially, it’s true. But in the context of a Meteor Method, the technical term for this is a Simulation, because it is simulating what the server response will be. I’d be surprised if, in practice, you’d find the two variables to ever have different values. It’s just helpful to understand what a simulation is to see why isSimulation
