J'onn is a master telepath and has been able to erase many longterm memories from people's lives like this. Tumblr aren't the best advice givers on this. I didn't mean they should have done it with the Legends' flash, I only meant that the Legends have a lot of experience with memories being erased and could probably provide them with at least some information about what they're doing (they didn't even do it in the post, the Legends actually ended up kidnapping the president XD). But you're right, J'onn did erase many long-term memories from people's lives like this before, so I'm a bit surprised he didn't seem to get how MUCH of mess it would make. I get it that it's what Alex wanted, but should he have known better, since he has years of experience? If anyone could have realized that it wasn't a good idea, I would have guessed that it would be him. I don't know, I just think they could have come up with a way better solution.
