<DIV><BR>> So let's agree that main objection to a time-traveling Rajan is
not the <BR>> presence of a hat, but the time-traveling Rajan himself. That
is, the <BR>> theory rests on demonstration of time-traveling, not on motives
for <BR>> wearing a hat. Which therefore are irrelevant, unless the hat can
be <BR>> shown to be a primary motivation for his time traveling, in which
case <BR>> it still doesn't touch on the basic possibility.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>It’s a minor issue. It can be explained away if he’s a
time-travelling Rajan, though i’s still one more thing to be explained
away.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The bigger problem with the hat is that it’s connected to Pike. After
all, it’s Pike that Silk saw. If the ghost had dropped something better
associated with the Rajan it would be confirmatory evidence for time
travel. Otherwise it seems more like confirmatory evidence for Pike.</DIV>
