Right, basically the payment can be intercepted before the intended recipient gets it. So the payer would need to pay another invoice once the payee asserts they didn’t receive the funds from the original invoice
I recall this happening to Saifedean in Austin when he was selling books reusing a printed out bolt11 invoice. People were paying him but he didn't end up receiving the money iirc.
