There is nothing of interest here, just @DarthCoin not being able to read.
He probably thinks double-spend always means a confirmed transaction was reverted but the article explicitly mentions that this is about manual RBF which changes the output on unconfirmed transactions.
In case of manual RBF we can specify totally different destination addresses, which can be considered a doublespend.
This is only a doublespend if the receiver accepted a tx with 0 confirmations.

Try it yourself.
Included in a block it doesn't really means is "confirmed".

My main question it's not about unconfirmed transactions. RBF is only for unconfirmed transactions waiting in the mempool. I'm talking about mined transactions.

You can do RBF on a confirmed tx but not with 6 confirmations.

No

No, are confirmed.
That explanation just reiterate the possibility of doing legit RBF on a confirmed tx (with less than 6 conf).
That doesn't mean is always possible. It all depends of how fast the blocks are synced, but after 6 confirmations is impossible to do a RBF. You will end up in an intent of 51% attack. But that is another story.
