When you call the feature flag, it’s going to put the user into one of the groups. The article is saying you don’t want to add irrelevant users (in the example, ones that had already done the action they were testing) because it’s going to skew your results.



The point is from an api design perspective something like

"posthog.getFeatureFlag('experiment-key')"

doesn't look like it's actually performing a mutation.
