going back in time to fix something that goes wrong is not an intended feature.
Tell that to Sam Beckett!

Oh boy!

I was just clarifying that it is, in fact, very much possible to cheat at Legos.

Interesting, if not particularly germane to this discussion, that I call it Maths, where others call it Math, but others call them Legos where I call them Lego.

(My logic can be expressed roughly following the pattern of Lego bricks => A whole lot of Lego, just like, grammatically, sand grains => a whole lot of sand.  It just sounds right to me.  And Math is short for Mathematics, much as "methodologies" can be called "methods". Which is not to say that I don't know justifications for the alternate variants.  So do ignore this derail, you're probably right as well, or get an equal headache from hearing/reading my versions. :) )

Tell it to Link in Majora's Mask.

Then brace yourself for the tantrum spiral to end all tantrum spirals.

in that, fortune telling by itself is meddling with the future since now people could do what is not expected

Unless, of course, it's self-stable or a predestination paradox.

It really depends what it is. The only true way to avoid the future is death.
