Anti-Bells ate it.

Look for yourself with a goatee. If you are the one sporting a goatee, then you are the evil version of yourself.

In such an event take adequate precautions against being defeated by your counter-part as part of a ploy to restore cosmic balance.

What's up with the temporal prime-directive? What is sos pecial about the time-lline we happen to live in? Surely with informed hindsight you can make better decisions than those in the moment. Sure you might get it wrong but you'll get it right far more often and unless you sit paralysed in fear at any action it abit disingeous

What a nefarious display of anti-space-time-continuum-patriotism. Young man, a lot of Quarks got de-ionized in the formation of this time-line, and you will learn to respect procedural progression of time!

Your ways are old-fashioned and outdated and abitrary! By applying scienctific methods we can advance mankind to its pinnacle. Your blind adherence to tradition is not only short-sighted but also evil. The future is also the past!

If the future is the past, then the past is the future. And that means that it's only a matter of time before the old-fashioned ways become new and trendy. The push toward secularism is SO yesterday you guys, I'm gonna go sacrifice several chickens to Lord Pasntarnaru of the Sun, who I just decided probably exists because hey that thing's gotta be up there somehow right

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually - from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly... timey-wimey... stuff.

What about soul patches? Are those for divergent but not quite perpendicular universes?

But who will we trust enough to make these decisions? And how will we deal with situations wherein doing what seems 'right' could slow our technological progress by eliminating what would have been war time research?

The persons making the decision would depend a lot on the makeup of future society. But it would need to eb some sort of committee with maximum information available to them. And clearly you want to preserve the development of time travel technology as a high level technology.

But all I'm really saying is the vast majority of time travel films/shows/books etc in existence have "Don't interfere with the past" as important rules but I don't understand why. If I had a time machine that is exactly what I would do.
