Seems like a distinction without difference in this context. The result of the "what is account x's current/available balance" is still some integer or decimal number.

But the GP implied that the bank (or someone) could just alter that number, and it would become reality.

I'm saying that this can't be done - at least, not without leaving such a large trail behind that it would be easily reverted, and relevant people prosecuted.
