Align the Section 15.3.7.2 propagation narrative with Listing 15.18 by correcting the path to P2->z->P1. This removes a variable-path contradiction in the counter-temporal explanation and restores argument traceability.

in mind that the speed of light is finite and computers are of
non-zero size.
It therefore takes time for the effect of the \co{P2()}'s store to
-\co{x} to propagate to \co{P1()}, which in turn means that it is possible
-that \co{P1()}'s read from \co{x} happens much later in time, but
+\co{z} to propagate to \co{P1()}, which in turn means that it is possible
+that \co{P1()}'s read from \co{z} happens much later in time, but
nevertheless still sees the old value of zero.
This situation is depicted in
