As when the planet Jupiter appears to travel backwards (travel in "retrograde") as seen from Earth.
It isn't really moving backwards; its apparent movement merely appears to be backwards from our vantage point because its orbit around the sun is much larger than ours.
It isn't necessarily going to go in the other direction, except in reference to the surface.
i.e. Surface rotates faster than core: appears to travel one way.
surface rotates slower than core, appears to go the other way.
BUT, they are still travelling in the same direction objectively.
Yep, agreed.

I didn't get that reversed, did I?
