I think this board is a general No Hitting Zone, unles it's with a Rhythm Stick 
As a pre-reader and major contributor to the recent discussions on DW-EVA, I'm gonna say this: Doug is not a direct force of change in the Eva universe, he is merely an influence. And while you may be right about his powers not being able to alter things, it doesn't mean he can't do anything at all.
I personally am very pleased with the direction that Bob's taking the plot outline - as much as I like NGE, the fact that everyone (including the viewer!) gets the short end of the stick doesn't sit well with me. Bob's found a way to change that in a way that proves the theory that a minor change can have a major impact down the line.
I'll let Bob say anything more on this since it's his baby. Further discussion is welcomed, let's just not start a flame war over this
