Subject: questions about dynamically updating attackboards

I am afraid that I did not understand it.
I remember claims that it is possible to do it fast.
How is it possible?

Suppose that you find that the white rook stops attacking a square.

If you remember only that a white rook attacked the square without remembering
more information then how do you know that there is not another rook that is
attacking the same square?

If you check that there is not another white rook that is attacking the same
square before updating the attack array then it does not sound so cheap to do
it.
