Gentlebeings, "Proof" requires "Facts" of which we have none. All we're working on is conjecture around images and dialog from a fictional situation. I just want to make sure everybody stays cool (which is virtually impossible here in heat-soaked SoCal).
Sela had a great reason to try to contact the Ent-D way before she appears in "Redemption": Her mother was alive and well and serving on the ship (admittedly a different version of Tasha, but still.) Yet Tasha Yar never mentioned ever being contacted by a half human half-Romulan daughter she never knew she had and was practically the same age as her.
Mutai, I don't think there's any ill-will going on here between me and Mr. Laser Beam, unless he feels differently.
As we saw, Sela had no love for her mother at all - only contempt. So there's no reason why Sela would have wanted to talk to any version of Tasha (even if it's a different version).
That still doesn't preclude her wanting to contact her, even if all she did was show anger toward her. For all we know, she could have used her relationship to Tasha as bait for a nefarious plan. It'd be no different than what Shinzon did with Picard.
Either way, it's pointless to hypothesize, and we're veering away from the topic of the Bozeman.
I just don't see any reason to hypothesize that, if the Bozeman actually travelled through time, that this must mean there was a version of history where they did not.
Assuming the anomaly seen in the episode is a naturally occurring event, then it could have been unavoidable. Meaning, the Bozeman couldn't have stumbled across this entity and *not* travelled through time.

It's ok; you don't have to get it. It's my thought experiment, so all that matters is that I get it.
She would also be moving up in the ranks. I think it would be pretty boring to watch that.
