That's not what I said.

I said from both "callbacks" and "initiating functions".

Or in more verbose form: accessed from both of:
   1. callbacks
   2. initiating functions

The latter meaning something executed not on the callback thread -- 
named thus because in naive implementations usually the first read and 
most writes will be initiated externally like that.
