Then why did Flashpoint erase Baby Sara from the timeline? Like in the comics, Flashpoint is not something that makes decisions. Jay described it very well in as "gluing back a broken cup". Some changes make no sense - because they are not results of Nora surviving, but, rather, a "sonic boom in the timeline" that messes up events by sheer force of Barry's time travel. The original Flashpoint turned Wonder Woman and Aquaman into warring villains, for example.

(Of course, that was before the whole Dr. Manhattan thing that's being pushed now)
