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.
