Er...I was offering a possible in-game solution. For all we know, the one
or multiple time machines in existance is in a future pinnacle plot
point/teaser. For another...not EVERY mad scientist was aiming for a royal
flush. And even those who were, may not have been aiming for a time
machine...out of the subset of mad scientists, those trying to make a
vehicle for chronical travel is a much smaller subset, compared to say,
those trying to make a better gun, or create life from assembled corpse
parts, or grafting technology into the body.
