Do you mean this example?

I don't quite understand where you see a destroy-and-render pattern... Could you, please, clarify?

In fact, looking at the request and response headers, you find they are indeed moving the underlying page in the eval without performing a full refresh of the page.
Well, yes, they are doing something similar to what you are doing.
