So if I had specifically said 'the popular notion of time travel', would that have avoided this digression?

Because to me it looks like you were itching to contradict me.

(I'll totally own the fact that I might have made an imprecise overstatement or whatever, I'm lazy and this is just a message board, the context is clearly enough popping in and out of time, not magic level reversibility)

Well, point taken, indeed the popular notion of time travel is quite far fetched. However, at a basic level it is not outside the current scientific consensus. But things can change, we don't know a lot of what can, or can not be possible. And yes, this is a message board, we're here to contradict each other :))

I think it is lots of fun to pick at things, but I think it is more fun to pick at what someone is trying to say, rather than picking at how it was said.

(I'm being cranky here, I didn't get worked up over any of this or anything)
