I see your point, but just to be clear: the volume *can* be restored, but
not over itself while the OS is running. For example, you can restore it
to an alternate location, or if you boot from another partition, you can
restore it to its original location.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
