You basically said that because the PMT can't work out logically in the R=U situation, you should ignore it.
I said nothing of the sort. The section on time, including the PMT bit was completely seperate from the R=U theory. All I said on the "PMT" bit was that it couldn't logically tell us if time was unchanging or not. I really don't know where you're pulling the R=U theory in from, because I don't mention that at all in that section.

Tell me, in your "unchanging time" situation, what determines the "set in stone" events?
I don't understand the question. Are you asking me who/what created time in FF8? That seems a bit demanding, don't you think?

If the past can't be changed, then Ultimecia wouldn't have been able to come back and give Edea her powers in the first place.
Flawed. If time was set in stone, Edea would have ALWAYS received her powers from Ultimecia. It's an infinite loop, as I explained. So nothings changing when she gives her her powers. You clearly missed that point in my FAQ.

Arguing that time can't be changed by having the time travel events that we know occur be "fated" is stupid. Why would those time travelling events be allowed (and, in fact, necessary), when no others are?
Stupid? Why would it be stupid when the game directly implies that fate exists in FF8? If you missed where I got that from you'll have to reread it. As for your second question, Iyou're obviously confused. I never said timetravel at other points wasn't allowed. Please don't put words in my mouth.

We KNOW the past can be changed, because we've seen it happen! Ultimecia giving her powers to Edea was changing the past. For one thing, Edea never mentioned that when you spoke to her about her powers. Rather important detail to leave out, isn't it? But if Ultimecia is from time period "B", then giving her powers to someone in time period "A" is changing the past!
We don't "KNOW" the past can be changed. In fact, Square tell us the opposite through Ellone. She literally says "You can't change the past". Quite unambigious don't you think? Or did you miss that bit in my FAQ maybe?

I didn't "leave that out", I was perfectly aware of it. What I did was explain why time would be completely set in stone, and why the games makes perfect sense based on that assumption. Ultimecia can pass on her powers to Edea and not change the past, as long as that was part of the events set in stone, which it obviously would be. So the unchanging time explains the power transfer AND includes what the game tell us about not being able to change the past.

I find the idea that her giving her powers away was "pre-destined" ridiculous.
And I find the idea that you would think Ellone was not telling the truth as ridiculous. What's your point?

"Fate" is the most idiotic explanation out there.
Yet the game implies that fate exists repeatedly. Again, did you decide to systematically ignore those bits of my FAQ?

Denying logic does not solve an arguement. It just groups you in with those people who say "Rinoa is Ultimecia. Period".
Firstly, when did I deny logic? Please do point out any logical fallacies you may find, but don't accuse me of such things without telling me what I've done wrong.

Secondly, you're obviously confused. I never used the unchanging time to back up the R=U theory. In fact, in the section on R=U(which I doubt you even read based on your post) explains my take on the R=U theory, and I even say I don't find it particularly plausible, and I also state repeatedly that it can't be proven and that it's all speculation.'

To sum up, I really think you should have read the FAQ properly before being so sharp and accusing. It's in any case obvious that you either only skimmed through it, or didn't understand a word.
