That's because time isn't reversible. You just hope and pray that the damned thing is reproducible without a date-time dependency.
One of my thinking games is to "watch" bit flows. The precise circumstances (date-time stamps, physical bit locations, etc.) can never, ever be done exactly the same way twice. Extrapolate this to tech enhancements, societies, and [pssstttt'ing emoticon touches hot button] politics.
