I think the point was that when using Reckless Attack specifically as a triggered event when you have already missed the first time, there's no functional difference between taking the rerolled value and the first one, as you've already missed with the first one so whether you hit or miss will entirely come down to the second roll. Which doesn't mean to say that it wouldn't be better for it to correctly show the highest roll in the log, I agree with that, it just means that we're never going to miss when we could have hit by taking the second roll in this specific case.

I assume that, when Reckless Attack is already activated, it's showing correctly as rolling with advantage in the log? I'll keep a closer eye on this in my own game.
