My vote for most successful time traveler goes to HDRKid. His predictions have consistently been right.
Although if all the stories were just hoaxes, you have to ask yourself, why? What benefit would people make from saying stories that would later be proven to be false? You may think attention, but this would immediately turn into negative attention, once those stories would be proven to be false.
In the message you quoted, I literally said that the 'attention' motive doesn't make much sense, because once the fake story would be proven to be false, any attention would instantly turn into negative one.
Ah, apologies, I didn't notice that part at first. But still, I don't think that all time travel stories are false. But like I said, I prefer to focus on the scientific evidence for time travel (i.e. how to obtain a time machine), not just read stories.
Did he pass your test?
I didn't give him my test. It's just he has shared his knowledge about the future over the years. I don't recall him ever being wrong.
