Correct. When we enter this method for the very first time and reach the `while`-loop, `topicsNotReady` contains _all_ internal topics that we may need to create. Only after the first check which topics already exist, we get the actual set of topics that we still need to create. > Validate could return a result that says '**there's nothing to create', ** but the way this check stands, it would fail prematurely Exactly. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
