Right, but why doesn't this observation lead to the next logical conclusion? If we can prove that in the future we would draw incorrect conclusions, why is it that we can pretend to understand the past at all? This is a stronger statement than the typical brain in the vat thought experiment because we (presumably) know it would have happened.
