Yeah, but people still buy into the crap like him calling Barry out in Flashpoint ("How DARE you lose memories, Barry!? You are the real villain.") Despite, you know, killing Barry's mother was also a change of timeline, it's just that for this Barry to try and change it at this point would mean destroying the already paradoxical timeline even further.
