Well, technically true. But FLEX does leave the game AS IF she had been subbed for and is subject to the re-entry restrictions of the subsitution rule - she either has one re-entry remaining or she is done (depending on what happened before). That's why in my writeup on the rule years ago (when it was still called DP/DEFO) referred to this as a "half substitution."
