This quote is irrelevant when it comes to actual raiding and defending. Again, to use my example, if you're on a raid that originally takes place in the midnight hour, and then the next day, update takes place at like 3 AM and you can't be there where you could have been there at midnight, you're liable to have your region taken over because you can't appoint a regional officer who could be there yet. For all we know, there might be one update in a whole week that you can make it to, which makes it impossible for you to raid because you can't defend the region for the next 26 hours.
