He's arguing for a non-forking timeline, which is nice, but I like soft science fiction with stories rather than people spending much of the story monkeying around with technology so that it's consistent with what we currently know about science.
I'll quote something I wrote elsewhere: The two major time travel literary views are forking & non-forking timelines:
* The game Achron has forking with merges via non-instantaneous time waves, sorta like Back to the Future.
* Lost is not forking. I think.
* The original Terminator's non-forking, but the sequels & series have forking timelines.
* Forking: Primer, The Butterfly Effect.
* Non-forking: 12 Monkeys, Slaughterhouse Five, Bill & Ted, All You Zombies.
