You are wrong. In the user's mind, origin/master means the commit
that used to be at master on origin, and the point of this
illustration is to make them understand that they live in a
distributed world, where their last observation will go stale over
time.

You are wrong again. The "reality" is more like this:
origin/master in your repository
|
v
A---B---C master at origin
/
D---E---F---G master in your repository
if you really want to write origin/master somewhere in this
illustration.
