Wrong. That would make sense in 'git fetch', but here the point of the
illustration is to make them understand what 'git pull' will do,
namely a merge.
Which refs point to C at which points in time irrelevant information,
the user wants to know that 'git pull' will create a merge.

Wrong. You probably mean:
------------
A---B---C master on origin
/
D---E origin/master
\
F---G master
------------
But 'master on origin' doesn't exist in "reality" according to you, so:
------------
D---E origin/master
\
F---G master
------------
