This assumption is false. The spec says explicitly that GET is unaffected by locks. Perhaps this indicates the need for a sentence or two in the spec to explicitly call out this possibility for integrity violations. I acknowledge in advance the need for a balance between tutorial/cautionary material and straightforward exposition, but if this is a plausible misunderstanding then perhaps it is good to try a little harder to fend it off.
