In that specific example, yes, the simpler explanation is as you said it.
I'm not equipped to debate this in depth at the moment, but can come to some greater "Q proofs" that have showed up similarly with timestamp markers that are much further out than the original posts. The ones that come to mind relate to Twitter and 4 year deltas (sorry for vaguery at the moment, I will back up as needed).
There crosses a point where, thinking in terms of warfare, that no human could feasibly come up with a plan that also considers potential setbacks several years in sequence. Even a team of people brainstorming potentials in terms of game theory, at this stage, any original plans would have gone stale.
That's where it becomes more elegant that a theory including time travel is considered best. Consider how many would have expected the Trump move against biclan to have happened already.
