Would it not mean that in the author's opinion, since any timeline in which time travel was possible would be modified until time travel was never invented which would leave the timeline in a stable state?
You've never read any of the arguments between the proponents of the theory that timelines have inertia and it takes massive continuing effort to make changes and the proponents of the theory that timelines are fragile and if a single grain of sand is moved, the whole timeline will be changed.
Do you not agree with Terry Pratchett that if a wizard enters a room with a big red button on wall and a sign saying that pushing this button would end the world, the first action taken would be to push the button just to see what happens?
