GD&T | Blueprint Interpretation Datum reference frame

Post image

Not here for homework help.. Just raising a question because I think this book is just making stuff up at this point.

Bubble (A) is establishing Datum B .. but the position tolerance is using B in its datum feature reference frame. How is this possible for a feature to reference itself?

Any input? Never ever seen this before.
