Simple fact is that the concept is ridiculous, and you have no ground to stand on.

And if you're going to argue that history is recorded that way, then you have no understanding on such a concept.

Changing history in any manner and arriving at the same conclusion as otl is literally impossible. At a minimum, the historical record changes. Far more likely is that there will be butterflies erupting from it, and that screws it over.
