Clearly, STIV must not go back in time to alter events. If they did, and 
were succesfull, you could never believe any of the stories again. Imagine:
The new enterprise and the Klingons go into fierce battle. The Enterprise
is (gasp!) DESTROYED. BUT WAIT- Here  goes Admiral Kirk back in time. No
problem - if at first you dont succeed, hit the old restart button by going
back in time and try again. No, the writers would be doing themselves a 
great injustice if they took the easy way out. Now - if they discovered that
Kahn had gone back in time because of some control he found on 
Alpha Ceti 6 and reworked things, they could perhaps (perhaps?) justify
the cheap way out. Either way, should be interesting.
