Flaw in reasoning: Butterfly effect from such small thing will most certainly not affect the universe for another few billion years, but think! Everything that required chance (read, everything) will have the coin tossed again! Small things of chance that didn't happen OTL might happen, not because Newton ate a sandwich on his 21st birthday instead of whatever he really did eat, but rather that the chance of X happening may now become Y instead, because the difference between X and Y was chance. Somewhat like LLB's post.
