I thought this blog post from Martin Kleppman (https://martin.kleppmann.com/2015/05/11/please-stop-calling-databases-cp-or-ap.html) was super interesting and helps explain what we actually mean by consistency and availability, which is not what the CAP theorem meant in its original form. I've added the link and included a single paragraph that summarises his key point. Hopefully, this is useful for other readers too!
