Revelations from Keynote II

[CaesarCV]

I could write a gigantic essay on this (and perhaps I will at some point when I have more time) but one thing that bugs me about the whole Time versus Shard Travel Debate is something that kind of showed up in Claymore65's (quite excellent) collection of evidence on the matter. Namely that the Time Travel evidence is all vague and out of story whereas the Shard Travel evidence is Explicit and In Story. I mean, just take a step back and think about that.

The evidence for time travel so far is a couple of cryptic lines that can mean many different things along with a picture of a hooded mysterious figure that kind of looks like a character from a storyline who had generic assets, and even that doesn't necessarily mean time travel. Is there some smoking gun I'm missing?

The evidence for shard travel so far is a whole patch storyline related to the First Shard full of foreshadowing, one of the explicit main villains of Shadowbringers going to the First Shard, a character who explicitly went to the First Shard being revealed to be majorly important in it, and a story about bringing darkness when there is literally a world where we know is too much light. Which world? The First Shard! Which is connected to all of the previous points!

I feel kind of like I'm taking crazy pills or something? Like, isn't it kind of obvious to go with the explicit in story evidence over incredibly cryptic lines? Sorry if this came off as a little more incendiary than intended, but it's been bugging me for a bit ha ha.
