You're thinking in terms of what you know. But I know what I know, and you don't know what I know. [ A phrase she's probably heard the other Harry say before, not that he ever explains it. And yet, this version? ]
All people, everyone shape what they know to be true with their will. People like you, people who aren't like me, they do this unconsciously and generally but not always following a consensus of what they know is true to how the world is and how the world works. People like me, people who can do what I can do, when we do something big like say...changing the entire fabric of reality or changing time, it's fighting against billions of other wills to create something new and changing in what witches in my world would call the Consensus of Reality.
The thing keeping something like that from happening is a paradox, which is a couple different things. For instance, the world fighting back against it and creating a paradoxical reality full of unrelenting horrors, disjointed realities and body-monstrosities. Or, attacking the person who did it themselves, causing madness among other more physical things. It doesn't even have to be a big thing, I knew a witch who tried to save a friend who didn't know about magic using a fireball and she found herself trapped inside a matchstick.
I mean, changing time might not be the same here, but after what happened to me before I'm a little cautious.
