In the end I decided it wasn't worth the risk to try, so I might not be the best person to ask. Although I suppose anyone who doesn't feel the way I do wouldn't be here talking to you, so...

I think most bandits are fundamentally self-serving. A lot of them aren't attempting to alter the timeline to any specific effect, but they don't care if their actions have consequences. They do this for personal gain or hedonistic reasons. Others are trying to accomplish something very specific in altering the timeline, and that goal is worth more to them than any potential collateral damage.

When I was planning my attempt, my hope was that I could delay something I feel is inevitable. I knew there were potentially catastrophic consequences and that to change anything major would be a gamble. I imagine someone would only need to be a little more reckless or have a little more hubris than I do to make a different decision.
