(Accelerated Mobile Pages) AMP Analytics

I am trying to learn AMP Analytics. I stumbled upon this statement which I am unable to understand.

Since analytics priority is lower compared to content on the page, it's recommended that clicks are tracked using a browser redirect to avoid click loss.

Can someone please make me understand how redirect helps in avoiding click loss.

The problem that's referred to is that analytics have low priority, i.e. they are not guaranteed to fire immediately. Clicking on a link navigates you to a different page, which may happen before analytics has a chance to fire a click event.

Thus, it's safer to track links through other means, like a redirect, rather than to rely on amp-analytics which may result in a race condition.
