Obviously, when discussing something like time travel, we can't expect only concrete examples to be used. However, if we start arguing with possibilities whos basis is basially no more than speculation and imagination, any serious discussion goes out the window. We can't debate such things because there is nothing to debate.
What do I mean? Consider existentiallism (or whatever it's called). Boiled down to the most basic level, just deny everything exists. When you simply don't accept ANY givens, any argument becomes moot.

"Life is sacred and you are not its steward. You have stewardship over it but you don't own it. You're making a choice to go through this, it's not just happening to you. You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."
