If you REALLY believe that, try chasing any army that happens to be rampaging through your territory: You will never catch it unless you guess where it is going in advance: If it were ACTUALLY random, you'd catch it about half the time, since sometimes you would move first, sometimes he would move first, as both territories are "hostile" moves.

I believe Endperez meant Once nation A takes control of a province, whether it was previously controlled by nation B of nation C has zero effect on moves or battles to come. Then he's 100% correct. All standard moves are resolved before standard battles, thus province ownership only plays a role when 2 enemy armies move towards the same province. I guess you just misinterpreted what he said.
