I totally saw someone write up a meta about this but I can't remember who-- seperis, maybe? Anyway, yes-- and it's kind of a clever way to explain away any changes to the timeline that *can't* be explained by Nero's incursion. Like, why does Sarek have blue eyes and Amanda have brown eyes instead of the reverse? Clearly it's because Nero changed Kirk and Spock's destinies which means that now, when this new rebooted Kirk and Spock go *back* in time to the 1950s or whatever, they do things slightly differently and that causes changes to ripple *forward*. :D
