Sometimes, computers get stuck. Things can glitch, and maybe it gets caught in a loop that it’s never going to exit. The rewind forces it to try again, and hopefully it’ll do the right thing.

Humans do this too. Ever tried to tell someone something, realising your just spouting nonsense, and then you pause and start again? Same idea.
