It is possible to make lossless transformations of JPEG images, such as cropping and rotations that are integer multiples of 90 degrees. But cropping and/or rotating and saving as JPEG does not necessarily do so losslessly.

The meanings of words matter.
Because that's the name of the feature in the Calibre editor. When done, the graphics are losslessly compressed or recompressed.
