In modern UI/UX parlance (jargon) Adams would certainly find another
opportunity to do the undoable, undo the undoable, then redo the undoable.
As in CTRL+V, CTRL+Z, CTRL+Y (or command for apple users)

Another example of "words are hard" that 'undoable' means both that it
cannot be done and also that once it is done it can be undone.  Douglas
Adams famously exploits linguistic wrinkles for fun.
