So in the meantime everyone throws the baby out with the bathwater because of three characters in terminology. A timeline point is a segment in the line now matter what the hell you call that particular point. Unless it changes the timeline from that particular point then it doesn’t matter what you call it or deem it as.
A point in time is a point in time, no matter what you call it. This is all dumb idiotic stuff to prevent real discovery from both sides of this crap. While we should be concentrating on CONTENT, we are instead arguing symbolic semantics and definition. Just dumb as hell, blind faith will do what blind faith will do I guess...
What’s the star date?
Oh, if up to me I’d *STILL* date everything from April 21st, 753 BC(E) :-)
