In 5.3 why do we use kubectl create rather than reconcile?

dnx

In 5.2 we are introduced to kubectl auth reconcile, and use this to apply the role and rolebindings, but in 5.3.7 & 5.3.8 when we deal with service accounts the lab uses kubectl create.

Is there a particular reason for this? From the previous material I thought we should use reconcile here also.

I have exactly the same doubt. I would like to understand why "kubectl auth reconcile" or "kubectl create -f " when we are applying role and rolebindings...
