That sounds extremely unlikely. Did you look into what the reflog actually is? And a tag is literally just a pointer to a commit hash. Sure, you can tag it, but don't embarrass yourself by pushing it to a remote.

So you do realize you're on a website with a bunch of smart people, right? Telling them they have no idea what they're talking about is kinda dumb.

Go ahead and give some examples of cases where the reflog won't help but tagging will?

So you're admitting you were completely wrong?

Pro Tip:

Don't insult people's intelligence then command them to spend hours to prove that you're wrong.

Just start with the assumption that you may be wrong next time.

Pro tip: Don't pretend to know better than everyone else, then go "no no no" like an 8 year old when someone asks for info ;) It's ok to admit you're wrong.
