I agree Bobby, rather like a football team scoring an own goal and being allowed to rub it out and play on. No sense at all.
Am I right in thinking that chess.com does not have this functionality?

I don't know but I was more talking chess in general as I read some talking about winning but they just took 2 moves back or something similiar.
This has been debated some time ago... You can see the arguments, for and against here:

I think allowing takeback makes people careless and give a false sense of doing fine.
you may make a huge blunder but win because you takeback the move. - you will never have to deal with your blunder. winning the game after a tackback isn't a win. - it is more a analysis of what would have happend if you would have found the move.
OTB I hear players say "if I have made this move on move 23 I would have won" ...well you didn't.
just my 20 cent on takebacks.
