Forum:Chain Help

I don't understand a paragraph on the chain page, and I had a similar argument with my friend.

"One should be careful though about the difference between simply destroying a card and negating the effects of that card. For example, activating "Mystical Space Typhoon" on "Magic Cylinder" would not stop the damage being reflected back as "Mystical Space Typhoon" does not say 'Negate the effects of...' therefore you have more or less wasted the use of a card."

The effects of cards in a chain aren't resolved until after the chain is over, and in reverse order that the cards are played. So how does "Magic Cylinder" have an effect after it is destroyed by "Mystical Space Typhoon"? Wouldn't the result of the chain just be that "Magic Cylinder" is destroyed?
