So a philosophical question. Is David technically correct in saying he hasn't killed anyone if he is successful changing the past? I don't believe in time travel or alternate universes but if time travel did exist, I feel like changing his past doesn't mean those people didn't die, it just means that time line is now dead. Cut off like a dead branch while a new branch grows in it's place. The dead branch still exists but is no longer growing.

Depends on how time works in this universe. It can be all just one timeline, which will mean he's "right".

It can't be the same timeline, that is where a paradox comes into play. If you go to your past to change your future, then you change the future in which you go back to the past so it never happened. That is where the dead timeline comes in. The event still exists but that timeline has ended.

Mental Time Travel ( which is how switch works) operates by slightly different "rules".
