 /*
   The SingletonManager allows controllers to register an item as a singleton, which means only one instance of that model
   should exist, both on the server and on the client. When the SingletonManager detects multiple items matching the singleton predicate,
-  the oldest ones will be deleted, leaving the newest ones
+  the oldest ones will be deleted, leaving the newest ones.
+
+  We will treat the model most recently arrived from the server as the most recent one. The reason for this is, if you're offline,
+  a singleton can be created, as in the case of UserPreferneces. Then when you sign in, you'll retrieve your actual user preferences.
+  In that case, even though the offline singleton has a more recent updated_at, the server retreived value is the one we care more about.
