Oh sweet science the irony. You are so lost here it's not funny anymore. Please regale me; Where have I backtracked in any way? What claim have I even implied a retraction of? You're not twisting any arms pal. You're twisting your own delusion. Since I know you'll fail to keep up yet again let me make it very simple. Your claim that the Silver Surfer can punch Goku and turn him into an animal is simply false because he lacks the physical ability. Your claim that he could go back in time and prevent Goku's growth and development is false not only because he lacks the ability but because he wouldn't know to do that. I'm not unaware of the powers of the Silver Surfer.
