Narrative:

Boarded the aircraft. Noted in the logbook that mechanics had worked on an antiskid discrepancy during the night, replaced a unit. While taxiing out, the 4 antiskid lights came on. Returned to gate. I told the mechanic the exact same problem recurred as recorded. Problem -- since the aircraft had not been flown, I informed maintenance that the exact discrepancy was in the log, and did not rewrite it in the log.
