I think you have accurately expressed the view of other single-
timeline theorists. However I am not sure that everyone understands
that this is the consequence of accepting this theory: essentially
you are accepting that time doesn't move sequentially. I have a
huge problem with this. You are basically admitting what I
expressed yesterday: my point of contention with single-timeline
theorists is that is it requires the future to have already taken
place.
I feel that this theory contradicts the numerous statements in PoA
which state that the past can be altered when time-traveling. It
excuses the omission of an "original" timeline but contradicts the
warnings about changing the past.
