The past cannot be altered. Only the present, which is not
history, can be altered.

WOW! Did you come up with that with no outside help? (I'm not
overwhelmed - I'm not even whelmed.)

You are the one who suggested above that it is possible
to alter the past, i.e. "alter history".

Keep going, Cecil, they'll name a book of aphorisms after you
eventually.

Aphorisms are statements of truth, however brief or terse. Do you consider
truth a negative attribute?

If you're into definitions, look up "sarcasm" (which an aphorism
frequently is). But an aphorism can also be an opinion, whether true
or not.
