The edit-conflict resolver doesn't care whether you're editing the page or a section. If the two edits are to different lines, they're merged; if they're to the same line, they conflict. (There may be some more details that I don't know of, but that's the gist of it.)
Let me be the first to say that, psychologically, it doesn't feel that way at *all*. And based on other people's comments, I'm not the only one who doesn't get that.
Edit conflicts occur most frequently on busy RFAs or talk pages because everyone's editing the same line, namely the one below where the last guy left his comment.
Sure; but that wasn't the situation I was trying to fix.
