But I digress...

There are too many things to speculate. And the further back one goes the harder it becomes to speculate, since that would mean more time is affected by the change. There would hypothetically be an infinite number of outcomes, since an infinite number of things could happen in the time, some more likely than others.
But that's all nonsense, of course...
