There isn't a requirement that iterations are linearly comparable.

Again, in our universe Humanity has *just* reched the stage where knowledge, 
including religious knowledge, becomes globalised. It's quite different from 
a universe which is long past that stage. Either something good is to come 
out of a globalisation of our knowledge and values or it isn't. The latter 
view is relativistic, imo.
