Line 23:
*** If Ramoth corrected the problem in advance, the cats would never threaten F'lessan & co. Ergo, how would she randomly in the future have the sudden urge to hare off after some pride of cats in the middle of the Southern continent? That's the point of the [[Stable Time Loop]] - there really is only so small a margin in time between when Ramoth knows there's a problem - and nothing that leads to her knowing there's a problem can be changed, so everything before is cast in stone - and the time where it's too late to do anything.
* In "Moreta," ''why on earth did Moreta not stop to rest?!!'' She ''knew'' time traveling was dangerous (she'd chewed out K'lon for it, and he was a damn sight more careful than she was), and she was on an aging dragon to boot. Surely Holth's comment of "I am too tired to think that far right now" should have sent alarm bells ringing in an experienced dragonrider? [[What an Idiot!]] indeed.
** Moreta was tired, too, and she wanted to go home. Plus, ''trying to help everyone get the flu vaccine so less people would get the disease'' (or at least, fewer fatal cases) tends to push things like resting to the back of your head. And Moreta probably thought that resting when hundreds of people needed her would be selfish, even with time-travel.
** See above long-winded rant on time travel. And wasn't the worst of the epidemic over by that point? Been a while since I finished ''Moreta.''
