That Desmond had no previous recollection of this really, really weird encounter \u2014 and you would think he would \u2014 leads me to draw this conclusion: the past CAN be changed, but probably not in anyway that creates catastrophic paradox.

I agree with this, at least partially. It’s not so much that anyone can change the past – it’s that only certain people can change the past. That’s what makes them “special”.
