I’m in favour of the sliding timeline. Star Trek was always supposed to be about our future, and I personality prefer that it stay that way.
But the SNW explanation makes no sense. A massive global conflict can just be postponed for forty years and that change has no significant downstream effects? Ridiculous.
I prefer how they handled it in the DS9 and Voyager. Just quietly retcon when the eugenics wars happened and try not to call attention to it.
Honestly, TOS had the right ideas when they first gave us a stardate instead of a year. It’s the far future, that’s all we needed to know. Perfect solution if they had only stuck to it.
